1794. France during the reign of Robespierre's terror. Robespierre is incredibly angry that some English “aristocratic” is helping many of the French aristocracy escape the guillotine. Moreover, in England, Sir Percy is considered an arrogant and stupid veil, albeit an incredible dash. But in France it became known that behind this mask hides the enemy of the French revolution, nicknamed the "Scarlet Primary" - the leader of a group of Englishmen who swore to help the innocent victims of the Robespierre regime. And Robespierre threatens his prime minister, Chavelien, that instead of the rebel's head, the guillotine will test Chavelien's neck. The trouble is that Sir Percy gave his word to his wife, who found herself in the position that, for at least a year, he would not set foot on the soil of France so as not to worry his beloved. How do you get it in England? Saving his head, Chavellin comes up with a cunning plan: with the help of a famous actress, he sets a trap and kidnaps the wife of Sir Percy, a French aristocrat who escaped the guillotine, freed by Sir Percy and who married her. close

What was it about opera diva Grace Moore that attracted the attention of filmdom's top directors? Moore's 1937 American movie vehicle When You're in Love more
What was it about opera diva Grace Moore that attracted the attention of filmdom's top directors? Moore's 1937 American movie vehicle When You're in Love had been directed by Josef Von Sternberg; two years later, her French starrer Louise was helmed by no less than Abel Gance, who a decade earlier had revolutionized the "historical epic" genre with the awesome Napoleon. There was, however, little that was revolutionary in this cinemadaption of Gustave Charpentier's opera. Moore plays Louise, a poor seamstress who is led astray by the rakish Julien (Georges Thill). After falling from grace (no pun intended), our heroine is rescued by her understanding father (Andre Pernet), who demonstrates his forgiveness by singing to her (it is, after all, an opera). Though it played to enthusiastic crowds in both London and Paris, Louise turned out to be Grace Moore's final film; conversely, Abel Gance continued to make commercial potboilers well into the 1970s. close

That Mothers Might Live is a 1938 American short drama film directed by Fred Zinnemann. The short is a brief account of Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis and his discovery of the need for cleanliness in 19th-century maternity wards, thereby significantly decreasing maternal mortality, and of his struggle to gain acceptance of his idea. Although Semmelweis ultimately failed in his lifetime, later scientific luminaries advanced his work in spirit like microbiologist Louis Pasteur, who provided a scientific theoretical explanation of Semmelweis' observations by helping develop the germ theory of disease and the British surgeon, Dr. Joseph Lister who revolutionized medicine putting Pasteur's research to practical use. In 1939, at the 11th Academy Awards, the film won an Oscar for Best Short Subject (One-Reel). close
