Mounted Police Charge (1896)
At just 24-seconds there's certainly nothing ground-breaking here but fans of early cinema should at least be entertained. What we basically have is a camera set up in Central Park as a group of mounted police officers appear in the background and race up to the camera stopping just before hitting the camera. There's no real entertainment to be had here except for film buffs who enjoy watching these early movies. This Edison film at least gives people an interesting look at history because of getting to see these police officers. I always find it interesting to see how things really looked in 1896 so we get to view Central Park as well as see what type of uniforms were being worn by the police back in the day.
