Histoire d'un crime (1901)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 322ft
Director: Ferdinand Zecca
Cast:
Synopsis:
A condemned man recalls the circumstances that led him to commit murder, before being taken out and guillotined.
Review:
Shots are connected by dissolves, while the murderer's dreams are represented by actors on an 'inset set' above the prisoner's bed. The whole is a somewhat sobering, and pathetic, cautionary tale, not without a hint of prurience.
