During our interview last Monday, Larry Flaxman referenced this remarkable clip from a 1928 Charlie Chaplin film in which an extra walks by in the background seemingly talking on a cell phone.
It's not possible to make out what the character is holding exactly, but whatever it is is being held like a cell phone and seemingly talked into. It's worthy of a look no matter how likely it is a time traveler somehow made it into a vintage Hollywood film.
What do you think?
