This is a charming and delightful little film from long, long ago. IMDb describes its running time as 7 minutes, but it seemed some minutes longer than that, although I did not time it. It has been preserved and released on DVD by reelclassics, who have performed a wonderful service by doing so. The slight story is only a pretext for the film really. The narrator (who speaks by title cards), whom we do not see, approaches a family of gypsies (here spelled gipsies) who live in a typical traveller's wagon and move from place to place, camping beside country roads. At first he is rebuffed, but when he offers them some money, they agree to take him on a trip in their wagon with them. The gypsies appear to be actors, though their costumes and wagon are real enough. This gives the film maker an opportunity to film very slow moving shots of the English countryside as if filming from the gypsies' wagon on his 'trip'. The print is so good that this is a real treat. We get many lingering and extended views of beautiful and largely deserted English countryside as it was in 1906, as if we were watching a carefully made travelogue of the past from a time machine. Although we see sleepy cottages and farmhouses, most of the country views show no signs of human habitation. We also get wonderful views of the streets of old villages, with no cars, of course. The camera likes to linger on leafy lanes and woodlands. This little film is a priceless gem for anyone interested in the English countryside as it once was, and should be sold at all National Trust sites, where the public would probably buy it in vast quantities.
