  • Who filmed this?

  • boy that woman at the end isn't much of an actor

  • The most fascinating part of this video is the cut-in. This became very normal in later cinema, but was pretty rare at the time. The cut-in is one of the earliest forms of analytical editing and very important for the continuity editing!

  • Dat ankle!

  • What a hussy!

  • the term gay applies then AND now

  • I think a better name might have been 'The Foot Fetishist Shoe Clerk'.

  • well, the women are played by men, so it COULD be homosexual...

  • @TheBirthOfFilm It's from Edwin S. Porter

  • Fun fact: the close up is actually one of a man's leg. Apparently this is true, though for the life of me I can't think of a reason why Edison would have done it.
