Considered to be the worlds first movie about organized crime, it is also noteworthy for its early use of follow focus. D.W. Griffith convinced his trusted cameraman, G.W. Bitzer, to fade out the background when the three gangsters walk towards the alley in the opening scene. During this era a cameraman was judged on how sharp and clear his picture was, so Griffith had to take him to an art museum and show him how the background was out of focus and the characters were in focus to convince him to do the effect on the shot.
