Her Terrible Ordeal (1910)
** (out of 4)
D.W. Griffith film about a woman who goes to see her boyfriend at work but while he's gone a burglar breaks in and throws the woman into a vault. Now it's a race against time for someone to find her before she suffocates. Griffith made countless "race against time" pictures but this one here isn't among his best. The two leads are rather boring and Griffith's direction never really pays off. The ending contains a little suspense but not enough to make the film memorable.
This is available through Grapevine in part of their D.W. Griffith: The Director series.
