A 4 minute short film by Alice Guy made in 1907, the French title being "Course à la saucisse". Silent with a music track. An early slapstick chase film, predating Mack Sennett films )Keystone cops) by 4 years.

Some sunshine here, thundery showers forecast for the afternoon. Didn't get much in the way of rain yesterday even though it had been forecast.

I hope everyone has a good day

Authorities looking into this and potentially a police investigation.
Those involved have already been fired by the club (they haven't been named). It may be a police investigation if match fixing is suspected.

Good morning Buddies

A cold but sunny start here. Heavy thunderstorms expected soon though

That video is very dodgy El. Not even trying ‘conceal’ the obvious

Enjoy your day everyone

A French 1909 silent film (no subtitles but has a music track) made by Segundo de Chomón. Not exactly the most accurate science fiction film ever made Probably inspired by Georges Méliès "Voyage to the Moon"

No....I would agree with you on that El

I got a hint of Flash Gordon from the opening scene...I think it was his facial hair

@slimfern possible films on the Talking Pictures tv channel for the coming week:
Monday 6.30 in the morning "Woman on the Run" (1950) Film noir, title somewhat misleading as the storyline is that an eyewitness to a murder is pursued by his wife, the police and the killer around San Francisco.
Wednesday 12.15pm "Young and Innocent" (1937). You may have seen this before but I haven't mentioned it. Alfred Hitchcock film about a man on the run after a murder charge and enlists the help of a young woman. Good but a lesser film than "The 39 Steps".
Saturday 18.05 "The Woman in Question" (1950) British film about the murder of a fortune teller and the police interview the 5 prime suspects but each show a difference aspect of the victim.  The Japanese film "Rashomon" had been released in Japan by then but not in this country. The Rashomon effect is a term given to where various people give diiferent accounts of an incident in irder to build up a complete account.

A genuine educational film from 1940

Just had to pop in and say that was fascinating El….

Baz yes, it was quite fascinating. It must have been something for those watching it at the time. Bell showed the film at the local cinemas when they were installing the technology.in that area.

Yes, it must have taken some getting used to at the time , eh El .I guess they showed it at the cinema because the majority of people probably wouldn’t have a tv ….but I wonder when in 1940 it was first shown ….before Pearl Harbour ?

I just watched a golfer get an albatross, a birdie then a double bogey

Pearl Harbot attack was on 7 December 1941 so that film must have been seen before then
