F.W. Murnau's complex shot starts with Janet Gaynor's realization that her confused guilt-ridden husband, George O'Brian, had considered murdering her and transports the viewer across the village lake, then onto the shore, up the wooded hill and without any break in the action "we" board the train and follow them, examining every nuance of their traumatic journey into the amazing city Murnau had constructed for the film, making this one of the longest and grandest tracking shots ever composed!
