L'Herbier, 1928, from Zola, for Société des Cinéromans. Banker Saccard (Pierre Alcover) and rival Gunderman smash companies and people; Line (Marie Glory) and the aviator Hamelin are the small lives in the way; Brigitte Helm, imported after Metropolis, is the wife who will not stay bought. L'Herbier sent the camera through the Bourse and down from its dome. CNC restorations run well over two hours. Money as architecture, and a last silent that spends like a talkie.

L'Herbier mortgaged his house for this and sent the camera through the Bourse and down from its dome. Brigitte Helm, imported after Metropolis, as the wife who will not stay bought. Over two hours, and the stock exchange sequence is the reason. Money as architecture, filmed from above.
