Produced and directed by George Albert Smith, the film shows a couple sharing a brief kiss as their train passes through a tunnel. The Kiss in the Tunnel is said to mark the beginnings of narrative editing. It is in fact, two films in one, hence the 2 min length. Firstly, the G.A. Smith film here for the central cheeky scene in the carriage. The train view footage however is Cecil Hepworth's work, entitled 'View From An Engine Front - Shilla Mill Tunnel', edited into two halves in order to provide a visual narrative of the train entering the tunnel before the kiss and then leaving afterwards. More information about the filming of the phantom train ride can be found searching for the Hepworth film separately.

Whether this film is really "the beginning of narrative editing" is a question of definition. The train segments that can be seen before and after the kissing scene in most versions weren't actually part of the film. It was just a suggestion to program it that way, as a surprise joke in between the then-popular phantom ride films. But that editing wasn't done by the filmmakers, it was left to the exhibitor or projectonist. I appreciated the little joke in the end.

Some daring use of symbolism here.
