Suspense (Dir. Lois Weber & Phillips Smalley, 1913)
- 5 years ago
Suspense (1913) was directed by Lois Weber with her husband Phillips Smalley. Although there are earlier examples of some of Weber's impressive techniques, her bravura filmmaking more than makes up for the plot, which was swept into cinema from 19th-century grand guignol. Blackhawk's 35mm negative was made from one of two surviving original prints in Britain's National Film Archive, London. Music by Donald Sosin.
