The Worst Film Ever

How sad is this?

Absolutely amazing

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Charles Urban was a film producer and distributor who, like George Albert Smith, tried to produce a commercially successful motion picture film process -- more difficult than still color photography, simply because it required more time for each frame's exposure. He found a fine partner for this early experiment in Percy Smith, who was working on time lapse photography -- take exposures at a rate of a frame a minute and then exhibit at a more normal sixteen frames a second, and a still life becomes a moving subject.As a result, this short subject of several flowers bursting from their buds, while it may not be very interesting to the modern viewer, is important in a couple of technical ways. Anyone interesting in the history and evolution of motion pictures should be fascinated.
