The review

Méliès, 1901. A wife is given a key and told not to use it. She does. The room holds the earlier wives. I am not going to describe them, and this is not a family romp. A teen, not a small child. I made that cut before the reel, not after.

The disobedience and the room are the story. That's a marriage used as a lock, not a home I want copied. Curiosity gets the key turned, and the warning was not empty. A small child doesn't get this one. A teen can, if we keep the description shut.

Journal

Keep Bluebeard in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 28. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Cinderella

40 instead of 28

Cinderella is still a fantasy film, and it scores 40 instead of 28. What you gain is industry: The kitchen is her work until the wish becomes what the picture sells.

The eight

1
Industry
No work is done; a key and a forbidden room carry it.
4
Household
A wife and the earlier wives: a marriage, and not a home.
3
Piety
She is told not to use the key, and conscience loses.
4
Courage
Using the forbidden key is the risk, and the room answers.
1
Republic
A private key, not a law or a neighbor owed a duty.
2
Temperance
The story is the want that will not stay off the key.
6
Truth
The warning holds: the room is what she was kept from.
1
Stewardship
Nothing fit to keep is left, and it is not a romp.

A Woman of Paris

28Leave it.

Chaplin stayed off screen, and what's left is a kept woman, not a family night.

The review

Don't queue this because the house likes the tramp. Chaplin directed and doesn't star. A woman from the country becomes a kept woman in Paris. Two men. It's his drama, not the comedy. Adult. Not a family film. The manners are the point. The money is the arrangement. People who wanted the tramp stayed away, and it wasn't a crowd.

I get the disappointment, and I won't clean the picture up to soothe it. A kept arrangement isn't a marriage in better clothes. Adults can watch the manners if they want the money told without a joke. Say adult before it starts. A thin crowd didn't wash the arrangement out. They had ordered a different man.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

40 instead of 28

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is still a drama film, and it scores 40 instead of 28. What you gain is household: She is sent to stern aunts, so the home she did not choose is the whole life.

The eight

3
Industry
Being kept is the living, so the money is the whole arrangement.
2
Household
Two men and a kept woman, and it never becomes a marriage.
2
Piety
Manners are the point, and the money is the arrangement, not a vow.
3
Courage
She comes from the country into a kept life, and the money is the stake.
2
Republic
A kept woman and two men, and Paris is only where the money lives.
2
Temperance
The arrangement feeds the want, and nothing puts that want down.
6
Truth
Manners dress it, but the film says the money is the deal.
2
Stewardship
A missed crowd still leaves a kept life, not a house to keep.
