Despite the contrived nature of the scenario and the basic nature of the model work, viewers appear to have found its depiction convincing. Talbot comments that "many people marvelled at Paul's good fortune in being the first on the scene to photograph such a disaster. They were convinced that it was genuine." He calls the film "forty of the most thrilling seconds it is possible to conceive" and praises it for rendering a disaster that was "perfect in its swiftness and wreckage; and the cinematograph film images being less sharp and decisive than those obtained by a hand camera, the illusion was conveyed very convincingly."<ref name="Talbot" />

A Railway Collision (aussi connu sous le nom de A Railroad Wreck) est un court métrage dramatique muet britannique réalisé par Walter R. Booth et produit par Robert W. Paul. C'est un des nombreux "trick films" à sensations produit dans les studios Paul's Animatograph Works situés à Muswell Hill aunord de Londres[1], et est un des derniers et très peu nombreux films survivants restants[2].

Synopsis

Le film se situe sur un chemin de fer à voie unique sur laquelle un train avance lentement dans un paysage de montagne. La voix ferrée passe sur une digue aux abords d'un lac. On voit un yatch sur le lac en arrière-plan ainsi qu'un tunnel dans lequel pénètre la voix ferrée. Le train passe le signal de la voix puis s'arrête. Alors que le train commence à reculer, un express sort du tunnel et entre en collision frontale avec le premier train. Les deux trains tombent de la digue[3].

Production et récompense

Frederick A. Talbot écrit en 1912 "la scène de l'accident était un champ dans lequel le décors avait été monté avec un soin considérable, et une grande longueur de rail miniature fut disposé tandis que les trains étaient de bonnes modélisations[4],[5]. D'après
