Slippery Jim poster

Released in 1910, Slippery Jim is a notable film directed by Ferdinand Zecca.

What it’s about. Apparently inspired by the antics of Harry Houdini, Slippery Jim opens in the office of a police commissioner to whom a rather cocky villain is presented. The commissioner orders the prisoner to be clapped in irons, but this proves to be easier said than done because our anti-hero - presumably the Slippery Jim of the title - proves to be an expert escapologist.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.5/10, Slippery Jim has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
