This special effect still holds up! It looks like a lady getting her head chopped off. Impressive.
I wish more modern directors would utilize practical effects. The gesture with the guillotine feels so real. Plus - as I wrote in my review of Nosferatu - the high-contrast, black-and-white film makes this look like a newspaper reporting the execution.
