A Tour of the Thomas Ince Studio (1924)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
I'm not sure how enjoyable this short was when it was first released but when viewing it today the thing is of great historical interest. Basically, as the title clearly tells you, this is a tour of the Thomas Ince Studio so we get a terrific look at how movies were made. We get to see stuff like sets being built, costumes being designed and we even seen an editor working. We learn about Ince's style when it came to making movies and we even get to see the swimming pool that was used by the actors as well as the fire station that was on the lot. There's a lot of really good footage here so anyone with any interest in how Hollywood was in the 1920s will certainly want to check this out. The behind-the-scenes footage is pretty priceless today and especially since there wasn't too much footage taken from the location.
