Suspense (1913)


SUSPENSE  (1913)  
¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Phillips Smalle, Lois Weber
    Lois Weber, Val Paul, Douglas Gerard, Sam Kaufman
An early silent thriller in which a man races home in a stolen car to save his wife from a knife-wielding intruder. There's some real nice camerawork - check out the mirror images - and an effective use of split screens to tell the story.
