So, there's this 1929 silent film, 'Would You Believe It!' that really caught my attention. It centers around an inventor who creates a remote-controlled tank, and, of course, that attracts the wrong kind of people—foreign agents after his invention. The pacing feels a bit uneven, typical for the era, but the atmosphere is fascinating, blending a sense of intrigue with the thrill of invention. You can see some neat practical effects that were quite ambitious for the time. The performances are a bit over-the-top but fit the silent film style well. It has that quirky charm that makes it stand out, even if the director remains a mystery. Definitely a curiosity piece for anyone interested in early cinema or tech-themed narratives.
This film has had limited home media releases, making it somewhat hard to find in good condition. As a silent film from the late 20s, collector interest is growing, especially for pieces that highlight early technological themes in cinema. If you come across a copy, especially on 16mm or even a rare DVD release, it’s worth considering adding it to your collection, as it captures a unique moment in film history.
