Review of An Unseen Enemy

I love seeing Lillian and Dorothy Gish in films. They often played sisters on film and were odd in that they REALLY were sisters. But, aside from that, there really isn't all that much to recommend this film. While it isn't exactly bad (after all, the movie is about average for a movie from 1912), its melodrama seems really over-the-top and rather silly. After all, the whole "gun through the wall" gimmick just seems like a bizarre and unbelievable plot device just to get the viewers to worry about the Gish Sisters' safety. Think about it--have you ever heard or seen anything like this? And, if it DID happen, don't you think they would have just grabbed the gun?!
