I've never seen Florence Turner - 'the Vitagraph Girl' - before, but on the strength of 'Hypnotising the Hypnotist', would certainly like to see more of her. Her attractively angular, extremely expressive face, sense of fun and physical agility are all here on ample display and the whole cast - which includes a pompous footman who looks remarkably like Sterling Hayden - seem to be enjoying themselves.
The audience certainly did.
