Charles Brabin&#8217;s direction is uneven: At some points it&#8217;s stagy and rudimentary;  at other points, Brabin  creates some remarkably striking and eerie visual effects, including a bravura scene for Walthall in which he descends further and further into madness following the death of his wife.

Griffith features that most people could name (let alone claim to have seen),  but it would have been downright perverse to pass over The Birth of a Nation,  Intolerance, Broken Blossoms, and Orphans of the Storm (the fifth and sixth discs  were made up of several Biograph shorts).
