Short Film Collection

A series of the early English pearls and peculiar obscurities begins with the oldest Charles Dickens -adaptation: Scrooge, Or Marley's Ghost (1901) and ends with The Boatswain's Mate (1924), showcasing the talent of Victor McLaglen, who had started his career couple of years earlier. Rescued By Rover (1905) was the first British box office success. A Daring Daylight Burglary (1903) is a depiction of criminals and police, while The "?" Motorist (1906) is a fantastic scifi-short.
