The review

Not for this house while the kids are up. Greta Garbo and John Gilbert, two friends, an officer's wife, and a desire that wrecks the friendship. MGM, 1926, a prestige hit, not Aloma's tally. A duel is the finish. Adult. I am not describing the sex.

The want is the plot. The marriage is what it eats. I don't need a lecture to see a friendship and a household used as fuel. Not a family film. Grown people can watch it as wanting that does not stop, and they should not let the stars rename the wreck a love story. The duel is the finish, not a cure.

Journal

Keep Flesh and the Devil in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 26. 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.

Consider this

Wuthering Heights

39 instead of 26

Wuthering Heights is still a romance film, and it scores 39 instead of 26. What you gain is household: Their love ruins the house and lands on the next generation.

The eight

3
Industry
An officer is in it, and the plot is the desire, not the duty.
3
Household
A marriage is present so the desire can eat it, not so it can last.
2
Piety
Nothing in the want stops them before a duel is called the finish.
3
Courage
The duel risks a life, and it is the wreck of a friendship, not a duty.
2
Republic
Two friends and an officer's wife, and no town is owed a thing.
1
Temperance
The want is the plot, and the picture stays with it until the duel.
5
Truth
The desire wrecks the friendship, and the duel is the bill that comes.
2
Stewardship
Left of them is a wrecked friendship and a marriage the want already ate.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

A child can watch the jars, and this sketch is not the whole tale.

The review

Ferdinand Zecca's 1902 féerie gives you the cave, the jars, and the thieves. A child can watch it. I am not going to describe a killing, and you shouldn't either. The trick of the jars is the pleasure. If that trick lands, the reel has done the only job it really has.

It is a sketch, not the whole tale told at length, and not a later feature. I wouldn't pretend the children got Ali Baba. They got a painted bit of it. That's enough for a short look. It is not enough to skip the story you would actually tell them.
