THE RAILWAY OF DEATH (1912) was shot in Camargue and reflects the European frenzy for westerns. The film, directed by Jean Durand, is best described as Coyote vs Roadrunner with real guns. 10/10 highly recommended, it's absolutely bonkers.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, is immune to propaganda and people who think they are are foolish. Movie propaganda is frequently harmless (I simply had to see Doune Castle because of Monty Python) but there are many cases where it is not. "I just won't let it affect me!" is incredibly naive.
And there were women who just kept their long, curly hair, Roaring Twenties cliches be damned.
The 1900s-1910s had 1860s nostalgia HARD. The 1920s were all-in for 1880s-1900s nostalgia. Legal booze! Nobody had ever heard of a World War! After WWII, nostalgia for 1900-1913 was at its peak, before it was finally supplanted for the 1950s nostalgia craze of the 1970s.

GETTING GERTIE'S GARTER (1927) is a film that sounds spicy out of context-- a man tries to get a garter with his photo inside from his showgirl ex-- but the stage play was panned for being timid, mild, and decidedly unsexy. The film tries but it's all safe as milk.
People expect comedies to be hits with 1900s plots and they don't even choose the really unique plots. Remake THE ? MOTORIST in which a motoring couple run over a traffic cop and escape into outer space

Studios didn’t hire me because I had no experience in gaming… so I decided to make my own. Here’s my first indie game: Maseylia – Echoes of the Past. It’s an action-platformer imagined as a 3D metroidvania: backtracking, unlockable abilities, exploration, combat… And it’s inspired by Moebius.
