Chinese Laundry Scene (1894)
Entertaining, for 1894
15 September 2017 - 0 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
NOT the first film of 1894, despite previous reviewer's claim. The first Edison to be filmed for the purpose of commercial release was probably "Sandow", shot March 6, 1894, and first exhibited publicly on April 14 along with nine others. IMDb gives the release date for "Chinese Laundry" as May, 1894. The film notes that accompany the documentary "Edison, the Invention of the Movies", give the shooting date as November 26, 1894. At any rate, "Chinese Laundry" was definitely not the "first film".
