Summary
Provides a little-known history of the invention of the motion picture by French inventor Louis Le Prince, who in 1890 was granted patents in four countries ahead of other inventors who were rushing to accomplish the same task and just weeks before unveiling his invention to the world, mysteriously disappeared and was never seen again--three and a half years before rival Thomas Edison made the device public, claiming to have invented it himself
