A 2-Disc Set
For the five years between 1908 and 1913, D.W. Griffith directed some 450 films for the Biography Company, delivering at a rate of two or three films per week.These films, one and two reels in length, are sometimes regarded as apprentice works, films in which Griffith borrowed, invented, and perfected the forms and techniques that he later used to such memorable effect in The Birth of a Nation (1915), Intolerance (1916), Way Down East (1920), Orphans of the Storm (1921), and Isn't Life Wonderful? (1924).But the Biographies were more than that.
The twenty two films presented in this collector's version of D.W. Griffith: Years of Discovery: 1909-1913 are the centerpieces of that ex | | |
