My Rating: (10/10) ★★★★★★★★★★
Do yourself a favor and watch this flick! This film solidifies Segundo de Chomon as one of my favorite directors of the early 1900s (that's him as the lead role by the way, what a fox!). Obsessed with trick photography, music, dancing, beautiful women & optical illusion his films are all so beautifully hand colored and just so fucking charming (in Bob's Electric Theatre, with really great stop motion photography, he has two granny dolls kicking the crap out of each other. Hilarious!).
