German film poster for Le Joueur d'échecs (English title: THE CHESS PLAYER; 1927, France). This film survives! Of interest as it centers on “the mechanical Turk” an automaton fraud that faked artificial intelligence. All that is old is new again. #film #art #history #filmsky #cinema #frenchcinema

@foxxnolte.bsky.social Just FYI I took a swing and found GAY NINETIES WALTZES on Apple Music here in Europe and the meta data assigns a 1958 release date.

"Is the Nude Rude?" was the tagline for BACK TO GOD'S COUNTRY.

"See the naked lady and judge for yourself!" created a box office bonanza as moviegoers clamored to weigh in on this very serious question. (Even the forest creatures seemed interested.)

But it’s the second entry of the page that caught my eye. It announces the intended marriage of Sebastianus Grecus, a soldier from Naples (“Neapolitanis miles”), with Thomas Gossen, from a village in Hainaut. Yes, that’s two male names! Getting engaged! In Brussels! In 1616! (6/10)

A cool way to start a movie: Director Ernst Lubitsch appears on screen in The Doll (1919), building a model of the set. After Lubitsch has built the set, the film cuts to a full-size version of it, complete with actors
