“By the Leanders. The dress of one consists of a pair of wings and a bow and arrow; the other represents a fairy. Bathers in all stages of dress and undress watch the graceful dance.” (Edison film catalog)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

"Cupid and Psyche" is a 30-second short film from the very very early days of cinema. it is black-and-white, silent and soon has its 120th anniversary. I must say that i never would have recognized who these characters are without the title telling us. A young woman and girl play the famous duo in here. Basically they are just dancing, while a great audience is watching, so it seems to have been quite a spectacular event. I think they joy of the woman is a bit contagious, but still, there is nothing really memorable about this very short movie. I would say it's not among the worst films of the 19th century, but not among the best either.

Cupid and Psyche (1897) Innocent Edison film has a couple young girls dancing. One, in wings, is suppose to be Cupid with the other one, I'm guessing, just your typical girl of the era. This film only runs 27-seconds and it's yet another one where we see nothing more than dancing. It's pretty funny to see how many movies from this era just show people dancing. Several are a lot more famous than this one but this here still cute enough to view. There are at least a hundred people in the background watching so it's interesting to see what all they're wearing and it's pretty clear that this type of thing could draw good crowds back in the day.
