Hi Jeff!

Here's a short film I'd never before encountered

TESLA AND THE BELLBOY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdD3MRvBvc4

Freaking hilarious, especially if you know about Tesla's hotel money troubles, and the frightening "death ray" polished wooden case which turned out to be an old Wheatstone Bridge.

Did anyone see this one?

It is in several parts.  The actor looks almost exactly like him.

Wow... what a find! I haven't seen that one. And, yes, that guy is a dead ringer (that is a really bad pun - sorry) for Tesla.

I love that movie.  After I saw it on Youtube, I looked it up and bought the DVD where you can really see details.  It is the best movie about Tesla I have seen so far.

Great links, never seen that version...thanks very much. ;) To bad for Dennis Patrick [Edison], I loved him in Dark Shadows as Jason McGuire :D

I just realized that those links went dead.  I had to go hunting elsewhere for that movie.  Here it is:

While finding that one, I happened to find this one.  This one was put out by the British.
