(Mr. Kenneth Marvin's Wedding). 1914. Director unknown.

(5/21/00)

This is a film of a double wedding, interesting as a document of it's time. The camera is placed in static positions. First we see the man enter with the two brides whom he gives to the grooms. Everyone is very formal and serious. Then we see scenes of couples dancing. Then there are scenes taken from another camera location where people assemble for formal portraits and more scenes of dancing.

The footage of people dancing just goes on and on. It had an Andy Warhol-like quality to it. I actually think that this footage could have been edited down into a nice little film.
