There have been a couple re-enactments where the tellers were tied up, but don't recall any B&G scenes. |
| Saturday July 18 18:08:09 2009 Oldest movie with a scene? |
| Just came from rummaging around at the Internet Archive, where I managed to score a copy of the "I Married Joan" episode where star Joan Davis gets it, according to the database (haven't watched it yet, so the Bindan Gagher Rule still applies-and I can't help wondering how many of us around here still remember either its author or the brouhaha that brought it into being). Enough of that, however. What I want to do is go WAY back-back even to before the turn of the century (the TWENTIETH century, not this one). While browsing the Archive, I also managed to come across a film titled "Jeanne d'Arc" from-are you ready for this?-1899! It's a ten-minute hand-colored retelling of the tragic tale with a lass named Jeanne d'Ancy (who lived from 1865 to 1956, according to the IMDb) in the title role. The depiction of her demise, of course, won't exactly put either Leelee Sobieski or Milla Jovovich-or, for that matter, Ingrid Bergman-to shame (the whole movie is shot with a fixed camera with a rather wide lens), but the fascination of watching an actress do a scene so long ago more than makes up for that. Just think for a moment: Queen Victoria was still on the British throne, women could not yet vote in American federal elections, the vast majority of people who lived outside the few large cities with streetcars traveled either on or behind horses, automobiles, electricity and telephones, where they existed, were expensive novelties, and heavier-than-air flying machines, television and even RADIO were all still science fiction! And this entry wasn't even the FIRST Joan of Arc scene. Historians credit a clip produced two years earlier (titled "Execution de Jeanne d'Arc") with that honor. (If it's on the web anywhere, I couldn't find it.) Anyway, that got me to wondering how far back scenes in our database go at present. Looks like the oldest we have right now is Blanche Sweet's gagged-but-not-bound effort in 1912's "The Lesser Evil." So, should we move the goal post back thirteen years and have the database cover parts of three different centuries, or is this a proposed entry for what is just too obscure a work? For those with a fast connection or a lot of patience who'd like to judge for themselves, I'll go over to the Video Page and post a link to the Archive file. (Word of warning: The voiceover added to the movie is WAY out of sync with the action, and there are none of the dialogue cards that would become an integral part of later silent productions. It might be better to watch without sound.) Finally, if the 1897 clip I referred to above isn't the oldest motion picture depicting something of interest to us, would anyone have any idea what is? |

In the future, please post this on the database correction page, that page was created for this kind of questions. |
