Featured review
cinema's infancy was quite different
"The Evidence of the Film" is one of the relics of cinema's early days. It's a product of the Thanhouser Company, a studio in the New York area whose work is mostly lost. The surviving ones tend to have simple plots (this one involves a boy suspected of theft).
An example of just how early in cinema this was is that Charlie Chaplin hadn't yet debuted in movies. The people making it probably never guessed that movies would eventually entail sound, color, and plots so intellectually profound as to be over-the-top (2001: A Space Odyssey).
Anyway, it's worth seeing as a look at cinema's infancy. The girl who plays the accused boy acted for a few more years after this before retiring.
