Cinema's first nasty women. - 4 videodiscs (875 min.) : silent, color ; 4 3/4 in.

Title from sell sheet.

Leontine, Florence Turner, Texas Guinan, Fay Tincher, Gene Gauntier, Mabel Taliaferro.

The four-disc set showcase more than fourteen hours of rarely-seen silent films about feminist protest, slapstick rebellion, and suggestive gender play. These women organize labor strikes, bake inedible desserts, explode out of chimneys, electrocute the police force, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints. The films span a variety of genres including slapstick comedy, genteel farce, the trick film, cowboy melodrama, and adventure thriller.

Rating: Not rated.
