Cobbler, Stick To Your Last
A local grandee is enjoying a horse race, when some visitors from Caracas show up for the event. Enchanted by their manners, Don Leandro decides he belongs in the Paris o South America and packs up his family for a visit.
It's the big frog in the little pond finding out that he's a lot smaller in a lake, and competently done, if no more than that. What is of interest about this two-reeler is that it almost vanished, in a state of shrinkage when found in the late 1990s. Only the existence of two prints in poor condition and the aid of expert restoration facilities in Italy has kept this movie in any sort of viewable condition at all; the first copy had destroyed itself by the time the second showed up.
That's how near we are to losing even the preserved corpus of cinema.
