Well the set has been finished. We move on from the Porter dominated shorts to see his style gradually fade in the popular opinion polls. Almost simultaneously with Griffith rise came Porter's demise, and ironically Griffith appears as an extra in Porter's Cupid's Arrow short. Had Griffith not been pointed out I would have never recognized him. Edison however not that interested in the actual content of his film as much as he was concerned with selling his Kinetoscope and providing material for it let the quality of his product generally wane. Of the several feature length films produced by the Edison company only one is included on the set, 1918's The Unbeliever, which was actually the last film the company ever produced. The film is notable as a timely World War I film, but much of the combat is ill informed and much more classical and theatrical. I had to voice my displeasure as the Marines who were outnumbered 2 to 1 retreated, when in WWI the Marines earned their nickname Devil Dogs from the Germans after numerous victories being far outnumbered. However you can't expect too much accuracy as the fight was still raging. The film is best remembered today for Erich Von Stroheim's performance as an extremely cold blooded German commander who has no ill feelings about killing old women and children. This helped earn Stroheim the reputation of "The Man You Love to Hate" and within a year he would make his feature film directing debut, and well the rest is history so to speak.
