Obedience (1930)

No title. M, S of two outbuildings under some trees. A man is standing on the roof of one of the buildings. An Alsatian dog jumps up onto the roof and attacks the man whilst a woman encourages the dog. Dog pulls at the mans coat as the woman eggs him on. M, S of the woman lying on the ground tied up. The dog chews on the rope presumably in an attempt to free the woman. It looks rather bizarre as the woman is lying there pretty motionless. Dog climbs up a high wooden wall and jumps down the other side. We see this feat in slow motion. We then see the woman holding a hoop in the air and a dog running and jumping through it. We see this again in slow motion. One of the dogs then jumps through a ring of fire and over a burning blanket. And to any considerate owner he is a great companion and faithful friend. C, U of the dog wearing glasses and with a pipe in his mouth cute. He and his owner read a newspaper. Was an item in Eve s Film Review issue number 455. FILM
