Great physical special effect in the opening credits of the 1939 classic Gunga Din. The shimmering transition on the gong was done by reflecting the lettering on a pan of mercury. Quite clever. I guess they had to be back in the day with no computers. (no scenes from the movie are included)
They weren't just clever. They were more than that. We still have folks of that caliber today.
