Fun film from French master Georges Melies has a couple burglar's breaking into a man's home and having to hide when that man returns. Instead of a trick film or something that he's known for, the director really changes gears here and instead delivers what's basically an action movie.

How Bridget's Lover Escaped(1907)

8min

2.3/5 (with 3 votes)

Directed by Georges Méliès - With Fernande Albany

The Village Blind Man(1907)

8min | Drama

2.2/5 (with 3 votes)

It is an early example of the rural melodramas that were going to be popular in Spain, with situations that Bunuel will enjoy subverting. The outside locations have probably not been modified and therefore present an interesting reflection of the rural Spain around Valencia. The blind man of the title is not central character of the narrative, a nice twist.

Directed by Ángel García Cardona
