Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Michael_Elliott Girls Taking Time Checks (1904) During the early 1900's Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company made a number of industrial films that allowed the public to see what went on inside their buildings. Needless to say, these films didn't contain any sort of plot but some might find them interesting.If you've stumbled across any of my reviews for this series then you'll probably read the exact same thing in each of them. The film starts off well enough as we see a line of women clocking in as they begin (or end) work. The only problem is that we see the exact same thing for over three minutes, which gets very boring after a while since we're just seeing the same thing over and over again. Had this simply lasted a minute like those films from the 1890s then it would have been much more entertaining but we pretty much see every worker go through the line.

boblipton One after another, woman after woman walks briskly but calmly by the stand where her time card is stored and takes it. There seems to be hundreds of them as this goes on for three minutes. When the last is gone, a man rushes in.This is one of the series of industrial films shot by Billy Bitzer at the Westinghouse plant in Pittsburgh. As you might expect from Bitzer, it is well composed and the movement is decent, but it's not particularly brilliant, despite the capper joke. It does illustrate, as do almost all the shorts in this series, the amazing industrial might that was building up in Pittsburgh, but except for the nascent feminist slant, showing these women as capable of making their own living and the laziness of men -- it is of only historical interest.
