Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | At the time it was produced in 1896, the 20-second film The Kiss was denounced in some parts of the country as illicit pornography. Produced under the auspices of Thomas Edison's company, and directed and photographed by William Heise, The Kiss between the actors May Irwin and John C. Rice was a reenactment of the final scene of a stage success of theirs titled The Widow Jones. And, at the time, despite the controversy, audiences of the emerging art form were drawn to the film's provocative subject matter, and reportedly demanded that the stars be reteamed. |
