Episode 11: In the early days of Hollywood, directors relied heavily on their cameramen. While their cameras may have looked primitive, when handled by a skilled craftsman, a pretty girl was transformed into a "screen goddess." Individual cameramen were invaluable to both studios and stars. With the help of art directors, they achieved some of the most amazing and dangerous sequences ever filmed.

Includes rare footage and excerpts from WAY DOWN EAST (1920), INTOLERANCE (1916), THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), and THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1926); interviews with Colleen More, Lillian Gish, Bessie Love, Allan Dwan, William Wyler, and more.
