Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Dr. Wise on Influenza Synopsis
Dr Wise is here to advise. As Britain fell under the grip of the Great Influenza of 1918-19, the Local Government Board (later the Ministry of Health) commissioned this dramatized public information film. Its hard-hitting message was designed to shock people out of their complacency towards this common illness and take preventative measures, as recommended by Dr Wise.
Anna Held Synopsis
This subject is the same as No. 1863 [ANNA HELD], but shown in full length figure. Both are admirable, and make hits either in the Biograph or Mutoscope.
"Dr. Wise on Influenza" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Anna Held" offers its own unique cult appeal.
