| Movie Description This collection of seven D.W. Griffith one-reelers includes the groundbreaking portrait of New York tenement life, THE MUSKETEERS OF PIG ALLEY. Also included is DEATH'S MARATHON, in which a man races to stop his business partner from committing suicide. THE SUNBEAM is another tenement tale, as some impish children inadvertently unite a bachelor and spinster under false quarantine. In THE PAINTED LADY, a young woman faces off against a burglar. THE BATTLE OF ELDERBRUSH GULCH is a rousing western replete with drunken Indians and a last-minute cavalry rescue. THE BURGLAR'S DILEMMA chronicles the framing of a burglar for murder. In ONE IS BUSINESS, THE OTHER CRIME, two couples, married on the same day, go different routes--one into burglary and one into big business--with the moral ground between them becoming hard to define. Griffith regulars like Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Lionel Barrymore, Mae Marsh, Henry B. Walthall, Blanche Sweet, Robert Harron, and Donald Crisp appear in numerous roles. All of the films are from Biograph Studios, and are silent with a music score re-recorded for the collection. These seven shorts are essential documents of cinema history that are still as powerful and entertaining as ever.
