Boxeurs en tonneaux (1897)
This Lumiere film once again shows them getting away from actuality movies and moving into pictures that had been a tad bit more scripted. This one here has two men getting into two large barrel. They have boxing gloves on and start throwing punches at one another. It appears the game it to get one another to fall out of the barrel. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking about this film but it's actually pretty funny and entertaining in its own way. The site of the two men pretty much beating each other over the head was quite funny and it certainly makes it worth sitting through the short running time.
