Shorter than it's stars

The Sick Kitten (1903)

Directed by George Albert Smith this is a short film that maybe a remake of his own earlier The Little Doctor (1901) which is now lost. Two children give a kitten medicine.

As you might expect with a film lasting less than a minute there is not a huge amount going on here. About the only thing the film is notable for is that it might be one of the first to cut to a close up but that's about it. In the end I found this to be pretty average and something you will find in millions of home videos these days.


3/5
