Surprise Attack on a House at Daybreak (1898)

01/11/1898 (FR) • 1m

War

Overview

Soldiers ambush a house. This is Gaumont's version, not to be confused with the less accessible Lumière of the same title from the same year. There is no director credited for this film, but the GP archives attributes it either to Gaston Breteau or to Georges Hatot (but not to Alice Guy). Since Gaston Breteau worked earlier for Lumiére and remade some of his films for Gaumont, he seems the most probable option.
