Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Brilliant and touching
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Poker at Dawson City (1899) This Edison film was directed by James H. White and appears to have been a staged production instead of actual footage from Dawson City. It clocks in just over twenty seconds and we see a group of men basically spilling drinks on themselves. Apparently this was the aftermath of some sort of issue that came up in a card game. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking that you're going to witness here and there's certainly no plot. Fans of these early movies will at least get a kick out of the "action" going on. The cinematography is quite good though.
