Kiss, The (1900)
*** (out of 4)
Edison remake of their 1896 film has a younger couple holding one another and smiling as they kiss for just under fifty-seconds. I'm not sure if this was the first remake or not but it's interesting to compare the two versions. From what I've read this film was released without any controversy, which is rather funny as this one is a lot dirtier than the original, which was banned in countless cities. The biggest difference is that the couple here are a lot younger and do a whole lot more kissing and cuddling up. On its own there's nothing too special about this film but it does remain interesting when viewed and compared with the original. Fred Ott, from Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze appears.
