Director: Joe Rosenthal

No Good for Anything

A bungling bumpkin fails at a number of jobs in this slapstick comedy - before he finds his true calling.

Nankin Road, Shanghai

This is an extraordinary window on to the heart of cosmopolitan Shanghai, over a hundred years ago, featuring a Nanjing Road bustling with crowds of Chinese, Sikhs and Europeans. It is the only known surviving example of the film reportage shot by British war correspondent Joe Rosenthal during his coverage of the Boxer Rebellion in China between 1900 and 1901.
