So close to the discovery

 

The X-Ray Fiend (1897)


Directed by George Albert Smith this is an early short film staring Laura Bayley and Tom Green. A couple get x-rayed.


What fascinates me is how close this film was made to the discovery of X-rays, would the audience actually get what they are seeing? As it is this is an okay special effects film for the period. Fine for what it is.


3/5
