Not so blind after all


The Turn-of-the-Century Blind Man (1898)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. A man pretending to be blind begging for money tries to get one over on the police.

I am not sure what the point of this film is but it seems to imply that the protagonist isn't blind at all. The plot ends up not really being funny and maybe a little offensive. Not one of the best from Guy-Blache.

2/5
