Oops, one more thing—I agree with Brook as to Cabiria’s merits—and with you as to its scales and epic proportions.

Two points: I’ll give this film the benefit of bringing in elephants, but I still think that Griffith’s war scenes are far superior both technically and from the point of advancing the story than the big scenes in Cabiria; and more importantly Griffith’s style of storytelling grips me far more than that used by the Italians during the same period.
