Slippery Jim is an 8 minute 1909 French silent trick film directed by Segundo de Chomón and produced by Pathe-Freres. The film heavily utilizes stop-motion to aide in its visual comedy. It bares similarities to other films by Chomón, such as Diabolical Pickpocket produced in 1908 and The Invisible Thief also produced in 1909. The films share a thief capable of supernatural abilities while escaping the law.
