1907 silent film by the Spanish film pioneer Segundo de Chomón.

More info on the film and director here: whitecitycinema.com/tag/the-golden-beetle/

“The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose;”

Love it! I love stuff like this. Used to use an avatar from an old French film about a dancing pig that was treated badly by the one he loved.
I can never remember the name of the movie, but the effects are pretty good for back then.

Is the film Le Cochon Danseur? See my thread on it.

This one looks amazing. This is very artsy and imaginative with very good editing. I can't believe it's from 1907. It doesn't look anywhere near that old.
