Now You See It (1947)	comment	Now You See It is a 1947 short film (ten minutes) directed by Richard L. Cassell.It was produced by Pete Smith as one of his Pete Smith Specialties, a long-running series of MGM shorts. In this one, Smith, who narrates as always, demonstrates the wonders of magnification and extreme close-up photography. The short opens with a shot of a gear wheel turning, as Smith asks the audience if it is part of some industrial machine. After demonstrating that in fact it's part of the gear of a wristwatch, Smith demonstrates how the wristwatch works. Then he turns to the world of nature, showing a series of close-ups and slow motion shots, of a newly-hatched hummingbird and a series of insects.

Now You See It (1947) / int_5aa4ec8a	comment	Ambiguous Syntax: After opening with the close-up of the gear, Smith cuts to a long shot to reveal that it's a gear from "a tiny woman's wristwatch. Ok, ok, so it isn't a tiny woman's wristwatch. It's a woman's tiny wristwatch. So I'll be grammatical if it kills me."

Now You See It (1947) / int_b5049d76	comment	Added Alliterative Appeal: Smith shows the gear that controls the actual timekeeping on the watch, and describes it as "the tiny ticker," shown through the "ticklish technique" of cinematography, and how up-close it looks like "a massive multipartite mechanism."
