I liked this very much. I'm watching a bunch of movies for my Cinema class and this is my favorite so far. Although it looks like I'll have to see the other one that came before it now too
Beautiful Dorothy Bernard as “The Telegraph Girl” and Wilfred Lucas! Amazing camera work during the chase scene in one of my favorite Biograph short films!
Love this film. I can imagine how thrilling it was to the 1912 audiences. I think this is a remake of an earlier Griffith film. This one is vastly better.
Wow! How did they get those tracking shots of the train? Were they shot from a car? Thats not the earliest use of a tracking shot, but its the earliest effective use of a tracking shot...how exhilarating! Thank you so much for sharing this! A small note, the inter-titles call this movie "The Girl and Her Trust."
🙄 there was illegitimacy, rape, incest, child abuse, domestic abuse, murder etc going on. They just didn’t broadcast it. You can create your own virtuous life right now - that’s what I’ve done; but you’ll never be able to control other people- unless you want to live in a communist / dictatorship country.
Jack Gattanella Griffith made both this and THE LONEDALE OPERATOR and a couple others with the same plot outline. One needs to remember that, in cinema's early days, remakes were very common because "originals" that had played before were now lost or no longer available for whatever reason, while new waves of audiences kept coming in to the movie houses.
Why remake the Lonedale Operator a year after. Although it is not a bad film, with an additional chase sequence, it is not as good as the original, or for that matter is Dorothy Bernard as good as Blanche Sweet. Miss Bernard was all emotional from the start, flapping around, & not calm like Miss Sweet who had the whole thing under control. I thought remakes were bad enough today, but at least they give a few years before remaking them.

I read a book about the telegraph industry and the men and women who worked in it as operators. Very enlightening.
What’s the name of the book? Thank you.

Maybe another train? And small train?
Probably a car. Griffith was known for using them as mobile filming platforms.
0:20 my guy is absolutely wasted
Oh, to have lived in such a simple, but virtuous time.

It's also the great train robbery with a love story
This Was Filmed The Year That The Titanic Went Down 1912
No, It Was Filmed Before The Titanic Sinks.
Moral of the story: people have been simping in films as far back as 1912
1825
Better then a lot of bullshit of today.
Thank you.
How cute the actrees

Pretty ridiculous. I have a hard time believing Griffith wrote this script.
