Burn, burn, burn, the house of fire.

 Fire! (1901)

Directed by James Williamson this is an early film with an unknown cast. With a building set ablaze firemen attempt to rescue the inhabitants.

The plot of this short film is very simple but for an early film has some nice action sequences. While it may seem a little rudimentary to modern viewers it is easy to imagine how this was ground breaking at the time. For the finale of the film a man jumping out of a window provides the highlight of the piece.

3/5
