Real Life Flea Circus (1947)

Over in Paris in the 19th century, these performing fleas were a big attraction. They just moved tiny props and bits of furniture around and you could stare at them through a magnifying glass if you were one of the lucky people who got to the front of the crowd.

Frankly I think it’s pretty rank and not even that entertaining. Would probably rather see a horse jump 60 foot off a platform into water. But only just.
