Wrong title

[edit]

Per the IMDb article and retro-translation of the English title, I definitly believe that the actual title of the movie is "Le coucher de la mariée" (Marie translates to Mary, the first name).

But I don't know how to change the title of the page... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.79.5.150 (talk) 12:19, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Extra source

[edit]

This source (Richard Abel, Encyclopedia of early cinema, Taylor & Francis, 2005, ISBN 978-0-415-23440-5, p.518) was in the article but since the book doesn't seem available anymore and I've replaced it in the article, I'm parking it here until someone can get access to it to see if it's useful.

Unlikely it was 7 minutes long

[edit]

Most films at the time were 3 minutes long or less. This 7 minute length seems to come from a 1996 London Observer article, perhaps mistranslated: Technician Daniel Courbet had never seen a reel in such bad condition. "I am sending this to be restored," he said. "If it sits any longer in its box, it will turn to treacle. That is what happens to nitrate film." He estimated that the film's length had been seven to eight minutes. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-salina-journal/2525738/

A 1914 source lists it at 66 meters long, which was typically about 2 minutes per projection speeds at the time. https://lantern.mediahist.org/catalog/cinejournalmarap07gdur_0741 J. J. (talk) 18:29, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
