Magic cars and crime

The '?' Motorist (1906)

Directed by Walter R. Booth this is the final film the director made with producer Robert W. Paul. A magic car causes mayhem and goes on a bizarre adventure.

Putting together a bunch of trick photography this is a fairly fun film but without much a of a story behind it. Maybe not as charming as a Melies film this is still a decent watch. For the period this is a good film but the lack of narrative does harm it's staying power.


3/5
