Chinese Laundry Scene (1894)
Directed by William K. L. Dickson and William Heise this film stars Phil Doreto and Robetta. A policeman chases a man.
Essentially this is the birth so much slapstick comedy that was to come in the silent era. Running less than a minute long you still get the idea of the comedy potential of cinema. Just needs the Benny Hill music really.
3/5
