The Last Cartridge, an Incident of the Sepoy Rebellion in India (Short 1908)

The Last Cartridge, an Incident of the Sepoy Rebellion in India: With Charles Kent, Florence Turner. Caught off-guard by Indian mutineers, a British soldier saves his last bullet for his daughter lest she be taken. This silent film features an original, scene-specific piano score compiled from period appropriate photoplay music.

“Decent little action movie which manages to overcome the limitations of its confined sets with plenty of movement and incident. The plot provides a crude template for dozens of adventure movies right up to the 1950s. The abrupt ending suggests that a few seconds of the film might be lost…”
