A Narrow Escape (1908)
Made by Pathe this
early film is probably directed by Ferdinand Zecca. A doctor is sent
a wild goose chase to give criminals the chance to menace his family.
This is a simple film
that uses a basic narrative to build up tense climax through editing.
It is an early example of the sort of thing we are very familiar with
today as good guys race to save the day at the end. While little
stands out about the film now it was probably ground breaking in it's
time.
3/5
