She is seen crawling on windmills and church towers, balancing barefoot on sharp spears and parachuting out of an airplane. The film was undoubtedly compiled to to show the skill and courage of Emilie Sannom, which gave her the nick-name 'Daredevil of the movies'.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a visceral tribute to cinematic fearlessness, relying entirely on the documentary power of early stunt footage. It explores the raw physicality of performance before the era of safety nets and visual effects.

What lingers after viewing is a profound respect for the pioneers who turned their bodies into the first special effects. The adrenaline of these authentic risks remains undiminished by time. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Alfred Lind

Watch projected large to feel the scale of the stunts. A perfect short subject.
