The Restoration / Shadows of Doubt (1909) DVD rip

Описание: A case of mistaken infidelity results in a man attacking another; The attacker believes his victim dead and temporarily loses his mind, cured only by a doctor who recommends a treatment of reenacting the incident to assuage the man's guilt. Here, Griffith covers similar ground that he would go on to explore in The Painted Lady (1912) The House of Darkness (1913) and The Avenging Conscience (1914), that is, mining the topic of mental health for story material; Extremely intrepid for 1909, and largely unexplored territory in film up to this point. While the films mentioned could be accused of being heightened or oversimplified in their depictions of mental instability, treatment and wellbeing from a 'modern' lens, are the films of today really that much more nuanced or accurate in their depictions of mental health? (No.)

Video was taken from Rare Silent Films' disc Rare Silent Collection #23. Copies of this rip exist on YouTube already, but they're in unwatchable quality, running at less than 10 frames a second. Purpose of this upload was to remedy the existing issue, and to encourage those who enjoyed this upload to purchase this disc and others from the eBay seller-- The quality of the films on these discs are consistent, and several really rare films (read: not on YouTube) are sold by the seller. High recommendation from me!

Regarding the title 'Shadows of Doubt'-- This was, for whatever reason, a reissue title created by Unicorn Film Service Corporation, a regional and very short-lived distributor active from 1916 - 1917.
