Similar to George Albert Smith's, The Kiss in the Tunnel (1899), James Bamforth's version embraces the three-shot form; however, the filmmaker omits the opening and closing phantom ride scenes and chooses to show the actual train entering the tunnel. In addition, the couple is much younger, and, in contrast to the affluent aristocrats of the original story, their ordinary attire suggests a lower social class. As a result, the first-class cigar becomes a humble cigarette; nevertheless, the passion between the protagonists is significantly steamier, more prolonged--and above all--more explicit. Surely, this is a kiss to remember.
