This movie contains what's generally considered the first close-up in movie history. For being a century old, this movie has a surprising amount of suspense that still holds up today. The gun through the peep-hole is still quite a remarkable idea.
In this case the maid did it. I wonder why Dorothy Gish was so hesitant to kiss her hero.
