Name: Duncan or Devonald with Muslin Cloud
Genre: Short
Released: 1891-01-01
Rating: 3.3
Cast: Fred C. Devonald, James C. Duncan

This third installment in the Duncan trilogy blows away even the original. The film brings together the plot threads running throughout the series in a sweeping conclusion that even vindicates the previous films errors. The addition of Devonald and the surprising twist ending (I won't tell you how the muslin cloud fits in) make this a soaring cinematic triumph. See this film today, it is flawless.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
