History of Motion Pictures - Early Films by Thomas Alva Edison 1918-26 DVD: History of Motion Pictures Early Films by Thomas Alva Edison 191826 DVD |
| Product Description : This DVD is a great treasury of Thomas Edison?s genius. It is also invaluable in terms of its historic significance. Anybody viewing this DVD should count himself or herself pretty fortunate. There are many reasons for this assertion. Firstly, it is sad, but just as true that most of the films from the 1910s and 1920s no longer exist. The ones on this DVD are among those that have providentially been preserved by private collectors, or the Library of Congress. Secondly, You have a thrilling 13+ minute documentary about Edison himself, which explains, at least partly, the reasons behind his success as an inventor. Thirdly, preserved on this DVD are some of the earliest advertisements on film. Although the ravages of time have left their marks on some of the clips, most of them are well preserved. The absence of sound only adds to the antiquity of these films. The early emphasis on moral values is also amply manifest in The Good Sport. All in all, this is a great collection of films made by and about a great and inspiring personality and I spent a fruitful and enjoyable hour relishing its contents. |
