This is interesting as I believe Joseph Jefferson is the earliest born film actor, having been born in 1829. Thanks!

Funny to think that Queen Victoria was still reigning in 1896

As a professional teller of Rip's tale, this film is an inspiration and a rare old gem. It captures the spirit of the wandering sleeper!

It's from the 1800s. What do you expect? Heavy metal music?

[ChanVideos]

@gorefreak6 .... Yes...

A timeless classic. It would take me two hours to drive to where the story takes place.

Where do you find this kind of footage

You can find this film on a DVD set called "More Treasures of the American Film Archives" There's a lot of old film goodies on there.
