Doesn't ring true

 

Are You There? (1901)


Directed by James Williamson this is an early short film. A man gets caught by the husband having a telephone conversation with a married woman.


Because the man is talking when there is no one on the other end of the phone it rather breaks the illusion of this one. A nice attempt even if it does not work. Interesting to see such an early attempt to get a phone conversation on film.


2/5
