1926, from Buster Keaton
uses some deep framing, but largely its between cuts that we have the suspense
lots of dramatic irony, audience (in just quick bits, though a bit of cross cutting) see it before Keaton does
use of tracks makes for one-eighty reverses
very strict in the direction of action, gives a clear sense of space
a few fine stunts of course
a little cold perhaps? Lacks the range of Chaplin?
A fine exercise, but nothing to get carried away about
