Zusammenfassung: | The visual beauty and directorial sophistication of "Salomy Jane" upend assumptions of what a first feature by an untried regional company ought to look like. In 1914, feature-length films were still novel, and the San Francisco boosters behind the formation of the California Motion Picture Corporation had not the slightest experience making movies. From such small companies formed that year in the West one expects the rough techniques of, say, the Los Angeles-based Oz Film Manufacturing Company or the San Antonio-based Buckhorn Film Company. Instead, "Salomy Jane" arguably surpasses the year's best-remembered movies from mainstream studios. [www.filmpreservation.org] |
