    A Weird, Interesting Feature

    With a slight but bizarre story, and all kinds of special visual effects, this is one of the weirder but more interesting features of its era. It's not really a great film, since some parts of it don't quite work as well, but it's very interesting, and it would still be interesting even if it had been made some years later.

    The story comes from some of Winsor McCay's comic strips about the "Rarebit Fiend", and the offbeat material indeed seems ready-made for cinema. There is just enough to the scenario to allow for a wide range of camera effects. Several sequences effectively and creatively combine panning shots and stationary views superimposed on each other to create an effect. The "whirling" effect, towards the beginning of the movie, might be the best one.

    There are a number of other features from the first decade of the 1900s that might be even better in terms of the visuals, and/or that are more enjoyable as narratives, but this is still one of the movies that those who enjoy watching these very old films should make a point of seeing. It's unusual, experimental, and interesting.

    DREAM OF A RAREBIT FIEND (Edwin S. Porter, 1906) **1/2

    Famous fantasy short with a moral: a man spends a night stuffing himself with food and drink in a restaurant; stumbling his way home, he sees the buildings 'dancing' around him and, on arriving, things only get worse. The bed starts to shake violently as if possessed and even throws itself, with the man still tucked in, through the window (the film's single funniest bit)! Flying around town a' la Scrooge, he's sure to have learnt his lesson by the next morning.

    As far as I know, the only other Porter film I've watched is THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY (1903), celebrated for being the first Western; this one, then, contains a number of crude camera tricks in the contemporary style of Frenchman Georges Melies. Incidentally (and Michael Elliott is sure to raise an eyebrow or two at this!), in spite of their undeniable historical value, I can't bring myself to appreciate such primitive stuff other than as mere curiosities…

    I've had nights like that...

    This an inventive little number from Edwin S. Porter, film pioneer and director of the groundbreaking The Great Train Robbery who, after 15 or so years in the business, just seemed to fade away. This adaptation of a Winsor Mckay cartoon is wildly inventive for its time as it follows a gluttonous drunk home from a night on the town and eavesdrops on his dreams. Porter captures the giddy drunkenness of our hero by superimposing his antics over a speeded up panning shot and it's a technique that works incredibly well. He also shows us tiny little imps standing on the headboard of the poor guy's head and jabbing him with their pitchforks before the bed turns into a bucking bronco and flies out of the bedroom window to embark on a flight over the city. This is good stuff.

    Not so sweet dreams

    A man way overindulges in food and drink and then pays the price in bad dreams and hallucinations. All the man wants to do is go to bed and sleep it off but no sweet dreams for him. Instead there's a jumping and swirling bed, devil imps on the man's head, the drunk and the lamp post bit, and other well done special effects. Is this film historically important? Well, sure. It's directed by Edwin Porter and is inspired by a Windsor McCay comic strip and is a marvel of trick photography. And all of that is important. But what I found amazing (and perhaps shouldn't have) was how very entertaining and fun a 1906 six plus minute film could be. This little film is both fascinating and a lot of fun.

    Cutting Edge Special Effects

    To fully appreciate an old film and its contribution to cinema, one has to be fully educated in the technology of the times it was made. Hence, the appreciation of Dream of a Rarebit Fiend, created in 1906, is a leap in special effects that even the wizard of film effects, George Melies, must have enjoyed seeing at the time of its release.

    Others on the board have given a concise history of the brains behinds this project--Edwin Porter, the Edison Manufacturing Company premier director, teamed up with cartoonist Winsor McCay, he of Little Nemo comic strip and Dream of the Rarebit Fiend, to produce this 7-minute gem.

    Comedian John "Jack" Brawn provides the pratfalls as he succumbs to an evenings' worth of nightmares after gorging on Welsh Rabit, a combination of melted cheese over toast. Porter's in-camera special effects forged new ground in trick photography that became imitated by others afterwards. His revolving film of backgrounds matted his foregrounds of Brawn and objects (like a light post and his bed) which served to mesmerize audiences when Rarebit first was released,

    The movie was the most successful of Edisons' releases in 1906, where he sold almost 200 copies of Rabebit to nickelodeons and film exchanges that year, an almost unheard of number prints purchased in a single year up to that time.
