Around the Big Curves

IMDb 4.4

Skip it. This 1904 silent film is a curiosity piece—literally just a camera mounted on a train—not entertainment. Unless you're a film history completist or have a specific fascination with early cinema, there are infinitely better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

"This is taken from the front end of a locomotive following an express train at high speed around the high curves, from the 104th to 116 Street station. During the trip, Grant's Tomb, Columbia College buildings, the new Cathedral of St. John The Divine, and Morningside Park, as well as a portion of the north end of Central Park are visible."
