Nursing a Viper (1909)
Directed by D. W.
Griffith this film stars Arthur V. Johnson, Marion Leonard and Frank
Powell. During the French Revolution a couple hide an aristocrat from
the murderous mob.
It takes a little
while for this short film to get to the point and then it sort of
robs us of the climax of the piece. Unlike a lot of Griffith films
this does not build a tense climax but is a fairly average piece for
the period. Nothing much stands out about this early film.
3/5
