Re: You MUST ABSOLUTELY see this...not chess, but...
San Fran 1905
"It should be noted that the driver of the car with the license plate 4867 at 3:14 is more likely Harry Miles of the Miles Bros, who shot this film. He would be one of the first film makers to place himself annonymously in his own movies similar to the way Hitchcock did. Unfortunately, the earthquake and fire devastated all the equipment, plans and photos of his studio"

When the film is done, there is another film like it in the screen links at the bottom. Click it and see a similar film from a devastated city.
