- Plot: THE DAYS OF TERROR is a French Revolution melodrama about a duke and duchess menaced by a lecherous revolutionary-- quite a reversal from the usual presentation of the aristocracy preying upon innocent peasant women. The story is the usual Scarpia ultimatum stuff you'll find in this kind of thing, but there are some interesting cinematic flourishes for a movie of 1912. Most striking is a shot where the duke and duchess cower in the foreground as the peasants rush toward them and the camera-- it feels quite modern compared to most one-reelers of the time, which were still keeping action relatively stagebound.
