Not really the Me Too generation


The Gibson Goddess (1909)

Directed by D. W. Griffith this film stars Marion Leonard, Arthur V. Johnson, George Nichols and Anthony O'Sullivan. A woman is harassed by men at the beach but only one sticks by her when she pretends to have deformed legs.

Not exactly intelligent in it's humour this is a fairly simple short film that is pretty easy to follow. The subject matter is not exactly enlightened but I have seen far worse from Griffith. Fairly well made and with a good surviving image quality this is not a bad watch really.

3/5
