It was amazing the film effects they got in the early days.
..especially the film of the chicken eggs being put back inside the hen the film running backwards..
and the other film of the heads being removed...

I recorded it Peter love anything like that, the chickens bit was great and the head thing made me laugh! Nobody really experiments with cinema these days in the way they did back when they had nothing to loose!
