Interesting early film, directed by D.W. Griffith. Walter Miller and Henry B. Walthall are partners in business, and rivals for the affections of Blanche Sweet. Ms. Sweet chooses Mr. Walthall, and the two are married. Soon, he goes out on the town, leaving her and the baby home alone. Then, Mr. Miller realizes Walthall is stealing from their company to pay off gambling debts…
This film is given great depth by Griffith's use of windows, doorways, and a mirror in background shots The performances are noteworthy, especially Walthall and Sweet, during the film's climax. A contemporary automobile is featured in the exciting race to save Walthall's life. For it's time, this must have been a shocker. The absence of blood is strange, but the performances make "Death's Marathon" worth running.
******* Death's Marathon (6/14/13) D.W. Griffith ~ Henry B. Walthall, Blanche Sweet, Walter Miller
