Eugene Sandow stars as himself in this early film from the Edison Manufacturing Company. The film was shot by cameraman William Heise and was directed by W.K.L. Dickson. In it, Sandow strikes several different "strongman" poses. At the time, Sandow was a vaudeville performer who promoted himself as "the strongest man alive".
The film is less than a minute in duration. Nothing was new or unique from any of the shorts than the Edison group where churning out during the new year of 1894. The only important thing of the film was that it starred the first celebrity put on film, Sandow, who would go on to star in several other shorts.
I gave it 2 out of 10.
