The Man to Beat Jack Johnson (1910)

The Man to Beat Jack Johnson is a 1910 British short black-and-white silent comedy film, produced by the Tyler Film Company, featuring four-year-old Willy Sanders demonstrating his boxing and wrestling skills against an adult opponent. The film, "has the feel of a filmed music hall act (which it may have been)" thanks, according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, to a, "simple idea (and a slightly disturbing one)," which is, "primitive in its execution." A clip from this film is featured in Paul Merton's interactive guide to early British silent comedy How They Laughed.
