(Viewers are advised to use the 'watch in high quality' option for this video).
'A Kiss in the Tunnel' is available to buy as part of the BFI DVD 'Early Cinema: Primitives and Pioneers' - filmstore.bfi.org.uk
This story derives from a popular magic lantern slide show and shows a couple in a railway carriage, going into a dark, Freudian tunnel, taking the opportunity to steal a kiss. As the train emerges into the light the couple move apart in a guilty fashion, and although scarcely enough to make your Victorian grandmother blush, it gives the scene its slight frisson of naughtiness. (Bryony Dixon)
