Sleepy

 Awakening of Rip (1896)


Directed by William K. L. Dickson this short film stars Joseph Jefferson. Rip Van Winkle wakes up.


As a stand alone this is not a great short, nothing dramatic happens and we don't even really see the character waking up. You would probably need to see the series as a whole to get anything from this. Not the best example of early cinema.


2/5
