The Musketeers of Pig Alley
1912 · US
Directed by D. W. Griffith
D.W. Griffith, 1912, Biograph: the first American gangster film that treats the street as a place, not a backdrop. Lillian Gish is the wife; Elmer Booth is the Snapper Kid. The alley, the dance hall, the shootout that is over before the titles can explain it. One reel. Griffith and Bitzer shooting the Lower East Side as if it were a western, which it was. The musketeers are a gang. Pig Alley is the whole country in one block.
