Rescued from an Eagle's Nest
First screened in December 2018
Director: J. Searle Dawley. Cast: D.W. Griffith, Miss Earle, Jinnie Frazer, Henry B. Walthall. Twitter Capsule:
Fun, curious blend of outdoor naturalism, physical derring-do, and pretty cool flying-baby effects.
VOR:⑤
Even my limited dive into the films of 1908 suggests that Dawley is a figure worth further probing. Neat to see this many styles brought together.
