EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 31st of October in 1928, we are transported back to the set of the British silent film Balaklava. The image captures a crew member diligently carrying two dummy Russians for a battle scene being filmed in Aldershot. Directed by Maurice Elvey and Milton Rosmer, this historical drama known as "Jaws of Hell" takes us deep into the heart of war-torn Balaklava. The landscape setting adds an authentic touch to this behind-the-scenes glimpse, as it mirrors the actual location where these events unfolded. The attention to detail is evident even in this single frame; from the meticulous period costumes worn by the cast members to the lifelike mannequins representing fallen soldiers. The male crew member's focused expression speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment towards bringing this epic tale to life on screen. As he carries out his task with precision, one can't help but marvel at how filmmaking has evolved over time. H. F. Davis expertly captures this moment through their lens, allowing us a rare peek into both history and cinema's past. This print serves as a testament to the artistry involved in creating such grand productions during an era when technology was limited yet creativity knew no bounds. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how films like Balaklava continue to shape our understanding of history while providing timeless entertainment for generations to come.
