About This Movie

So, 'Believe It or Not (Second Series) #12' is quite a quirky piece from 1932, where Leo Donnelly steps in as the host in Ripley's absence. There's this bizarre yet fascinating segment about a group in the Philippines moving an entire house - I mean, the logistics of it are mind-boggling! The documentary captures those oddities of life with an almost surreal atmosphere, and you can feel the pacing is deliberate, allowing each strange story to sink in. That one-armed boat builder showcasing his creations is another highlight; it adds this layer of human resilience, you know? It's a real testament to how the unusual can be both captivating and insightful.

This episode, like others in the series, has a certain charm and a very niche appeal. It’s worth noting that collectors often seek these out, given their limited availability in physical formats; many original prints are rare. The documentary style, mixed with the eccentric themes, draws in those with a penchant for the unusual, making it a noteworthy piece for any collector looking to delve into early 20th-century curiosities.
