What Darwin Missed is this quirky 1916 comedy that dives into the mind of Professor Alonzo Bozzle, a zoologist with a penchant for the peculiar. You get this whimsical blend of science and fantasy, especially when Bozzle's dreams transport him to a fantastical world. The practical effects, though limited by today's standards, create a charming atmosphere that showcases the era's inventiveness. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing you to savor the oddball humor and eccentric characters. Griffith’s direction balances the absurd with playful charm, making the film's exploration of evolution feel both lighthearted and thought-provoking. Plus, the performances, particularly from the lead, bring a delightful energy that keeps you engaged throughout.
