The Avenging Conscience

The Avenging Conscience was directed by D.W. Griffith in 1914. It is 50 minutes long, a step in Griffith's progressive move into feature films. His next film was to me his controversial masterpiece, Birth of a Nation. This film is based on writings of Edgar Allen Poe, it is Victorian and sentimental but it is also quite visual. Rather than be a spoiler I will let the story tell itself. I have added music and sound effects, and I may have gone a bit overboard myself as you will see if you watch it.

Our Hospitality

Our Hospitality starring Buster Keaton was released in 1923 by Metro Pictures. It is the story of a boy (Keaton) who fall into a Hatfield McCoy like feud. It does have some wonderful comedic scenes. Music is from old piano rolls.

Buster Keaton wrote and directed this film in 1922. In it he accidentally gets married to a woman because he thinks he is in court and they all speak Polish. The comedy revolves around his living with his new wife's Polish family.
