BRIEF REVIEWS OF FILMS BY THE GUY WHO DID THE LIGHTBULB AND TRIED TO MAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF CEMENT (4)

THE KISS (1896): May Irwin and John Rice. May Irwin appears to be John Rice’s mother. They talk to each other very very close, in fact, their mouths are sort of touching while they speak. And then when you least suspect it, John Rice fluffs his ample mustache and gives May Irwin, who I have decided is not his mother, a big juicy wet one on the lips. While they keep talking. Arguably the sexiest kiss of 1896 or 1897 or 1898. (In 1895 they executed Mary Queen of Scots.)
