The Gay Shoe Clerk
(1903)
Directed by Edwin S.
Porter this short film of the silent era stars Edward Boulden. A
young lady shows some leg to the clerk fitting her for a new shoe, he
kisses her and the lady's escort hits him with an umbrella.
There is not a huge
amount to this film and it barely lasts more than a minute. The plot
is pretty much as described above and might raise a momentary chuckle
at most. It is hard to expect much more from these early shorts but I
suppose for the era this is a well made film.
3/5
