An arm and a leg

Turn of the century surgery (1900)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. We see a man undergo amputation then be given new limbs.

Not the most subtle use of early camera tricks this is a fairly simple gag film. There is some humour to the piece but it is not one of those early films that stands the test of time. I think the concept might have exceeded the ability of the period.
