Directed by Wallace McCutcheon Sr., Edwin Stanton Porter
Edwin S. Porter and Wallace McCutcheon, Edison, 1906, from Winsor McCay's comic strip. Jack Brawn eats Welsh rarebit, staggers home, and dreams of little demons, a bucking bed, and a flight over the city. About seven minutes. Edison advertised photographic stunts never attempted before; the BFI notes it was made in nine days for $350, with double exposure, miniatures, and stop-motion. Selected for the National Film Registry in 2015.
