Reviews
CinemaSerf
A very early silent film that delivers precisely what it says on the tin. A rather amusing short sequence featuring two cats attired in boxing gloves having a sparring session. It lasts less than a minute and is an engaging example of Thomas Edison's late 19th century moving picture technique.
