The Golden Louis (1909)
Directed by D. W.
Griffith this film stars Adele DeGarde, Charles Inslee, Anita Hendre
and Owen Moore. A young girl falls asleep begging, a man leaves her a
gold coin which a gambler takes to spin up at the roulette wheel.
Griffith is often
pushing a clear agenda in his film but thankfully in this one it's a
fairly relatable, if simplistic idea. There isn't a huge amount to
this film but it is a fairly well made period piece. The image
quality is not the best but it's not too hard to follow the plot
despite the lack of any on screen text or titles.
3/5
