CIVILIZATION «½ USA A fictional kingdom wages war and a torpedo commander has a crisis of conscience. A horribly dated Christian parable that drops solemn pacifist messages like Looney Tunes did anvils. A technically competent but thematically repugnant amalgam of D.W. Griffith elements that only serves as testament to Griffith's artistry. For one, he never had to resort to summoning Jesus to resurrect within the body of his hero. dir: Thomas Ince cast: Howard C. Hickman, Enid Markey, Lola May, George Fisher |
HELL'S HINGES «««½ USA A corruptible young preacher is sent to preach at a corrupt town in the Wild West. A primitive Western melodrama, high on puritanical hysteria, but rendered bearable through an impressive eye for visual contrast and composition. dir: Charles Swickard, William S.Hart, Clifford Smith ph: Joseph H. August cast: William S. Hart, Clara Williams, Jack Standing, Alfred Hollingsworth INTOLERANCE |
