Don't Trip Over That Blanket
This film, along with nine other films, was shown at a Paris, mini-film festival, by pioneering filmmakers, the Lumiere brothers, in December of 1895. Those crazy, whacky acrobats from Lumiere's earlier film, Horse Trick Riders (1895), shown during the mini-festival, about four minutes before this film, return here for the 1895 version of a sequel, in Jumping the Blanket (1895). Four guys hold onto a blanket and a fifth guy... jumps over it. Home movies for paying customers in the eighth movie ever shown to an audience for a fee. One of the first ever films needing a better acrobat instructor. It looks more like an embarrassing home movie with the drunk neighbors, but it was one of the first motion pictures ever made and that is saying something.
6.7 (C- MyGrade) = 7 IMDB.
