The Adventures of Dollie

Beware of Gypsies. They will kidnap your child.

Mildly entertaining at best but still mostly boring.

Griffith seemingly peaked very early on.. Great narrative techniques, allowing characters to walk in and out of scenes to weave the plot structure neatly together - and what a fun plot indeed! A girl hidden in an XXX-barrel - kidnapped by a gypsy after he was severely beaten - floating down a river.. DW would later further develop this multi-plane action level of each shot in The Lonedale Operator, a beautiful, yet flawed and somewhat stupid short (Who would ever mistake a wrench for a gun?!)

D.W. Griffith fucking sucks

It's horribly racist, but it does a great job building tension. Of obvious historical importance.
