Plot SynopsisThe most successful British film in 1905 was Rescued By Rover, a six-minute drama produced by pioneering Cecil Hepworth. Rover the family dog, the world's first dog star, real name Blair, not only saves a baby from thieving gypsies but also brings the wrongdoer to justice. The film embraces limited cross-cutting shots linking the locales of the baby and worried parents. Hepworth’s family acted in what was an important film in the history of early cinema. |
