The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER II
8/14

There the spoilers are discomfited, the gold mine is recaptured, the incidental girls are won, in a flash, by the rightful owners.
These shows work like the express elevators in the Metropolitan Tower.
The ideal is the maximum of speed in descending or ascending, not to be jolted into insensibility.

There are two girl parts as beautifully thought out as the parts of ladies in love can be expected to be in Action Films.

But in the end the love is not much more romantic in the eye of the spectator than it would be to behold a man on a motorcycle with the girl of his choice riding on the same machine behind him.

And the highest type of Action Picture romance is not attained by having Juliet triumph over the motorcycle handicap.

It is not achieved by weaving in a Sherlock Holmes plot.
