Fun Biograph Film
Automobile Race for the Vanderbilt Cup (1904)
*** (out of 4)
This Edison film certainly isn't a masterpiece and it didn't help change the history of cinema but it's pretty entertaining. We basically see a bunch of racing footage from the Vanderbilt Cup and this lasts for nearly four minutes. The footage itself was shot pretty well and it gets you pretty close to the action on the race track. There are several good clips of the cars coming around sharp corners and there are a couple great shots of the large crowds gathered at the finish line. Race history buffs will certainly enjoy seeing these old cars.
