A Ballroom Tragedy (1905)
A man takes a woman into a room where they sit on a couch and become quite comfortable with each other. While they're chatting another woman sneak in and watches them. Within seconds she takes a knife and jams it into the woman's back. Without any title cards or anything it's somewhat hard to figure out exactly what the plot is. Is the woman with the knife the man's wife? Is the woman with the knife a jealous girlfriend? Either way, the film is way too over-dramatic as are the performances but at the same time I liked it. I liked how everything was set up and especially the way the woman with the knife hides and just waits for the perfect strike.
