The Spectacle Maker (1934)
What we have here is a half hour, fairy tale-type short subject shot in 30's technicolor. In it, an old glasses maker with a crippled grandson learns from the Bible how to make a lens which shows the best in everything. After he becomes famous because of it, a seriously creepy guy cloaked in black recommends that he make a lens which shows truth. Things go down hill at that moment but it all works out in the end. Also, the creepy guy might be God. Watch for young Robert Taylor in the Duke's court.
