The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895)


Directed by Alfred Clark this film stars Mrs. Robert L. Thomas. We see a depiction of the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots.


Containing one of the first camera tricks in cinema unfortunately the cut is a little obvious when you watch this film. For the period no doubt this is impressive but to modern eyes it does not hold up too well. A good effort none the less.


3/5
