Kiss in the Tunnel, The (Smith) (1899)
 

Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

We enter a tunnel from the point of view of the train (another train passes the camera just before). In a carriage, a man and a woman look at each other and, taking advantage of the sudden darkness, hesitantly kiss before returning to their book and newspaper. A point of view shot shows the train emerging from the tunnel.
