Sandow (1896)
2/10
Strong-man Eugen at it again

Warning: Spoilers
Eugen Sandow was a bit of a very early movie star and here we see why. Or don't. I'm not sure. Obviously people were interested in his strength and so they sucked up his films even if he was basically doing nothing than posing and flexing his muscles. That's exactly what he does here. For twenty seconds. As always, he wears nothing but a slip and a mustache and impresses everybody with his toned body. Arnold Schwarzenegger of the 19th century, although the Austrian is probably the more gifted actor. A weird statement, I know. Anyway, I'm not wowed by this film at all, just like with most others by Sandow and can't really recommend it.
