A small thing

The Cheese Mites, or Lilliputians in a London Restaurant (1901)

Directed by Walter R. Booth this is an early short film. A man at a restaurant has a drink and sees small people on the table.

Essentially this is just one photography trick and the quality of the surviving film is not that high. Given the age of the film you can allow some wiggle room and this is a fairly standard example of a film of the period. While this film is briefly enjoyable there is not a lot to it.


2/5
