Re: "First" film shot at night (not day for night)?

[Noemi Figueroa] " I was reading Lillian Gish's autobiography titled "Movies, Mr. Griffith and Me" wherein she states that during filming of "The Birth of a Nation" the director D.W. Griffith filmed a battle scene into the night."

I believe we have a winner!

Given everything else he pioneered on that picture alone, I should have guessed it was Griffith. Lillian Gish most definitely counts as a reliable witness, too.

Great catch, Noemi. Thanks for passing this along!

Tim
