- DirectorJoseph FaivreMaurice TourneurStarsEdmond DuquesneHenry RousselHenri GougetThe Twins, regular bad men of the regiment, have been condemned to the military prison, and it goes much against the grain of the kind-hearted Captain Hurluret to see these poor fellows confined to their cells. His leniency toward them, however, is speedily taken advantage of with most amusing results. Consequently, when the General of the regiment, another kind-hearted officer, comes to inspect the barracks, he finds that the regiment are all heartily enjoying themselves and that breach of the rules and regulations is rife. He reproves the Captain, but the latter merely replies that he cares not for the rules and regulations, as his ambition is not promotion, but to be beloved by his men. Under such an officer the men would boldly court, without fear, the death that lurks in waiting for them. Truly, the Captain's ambition is realized, for his men love him with all their hearts.

- DirectorJacques TourneurStarsCarey WilsonGranville BatesJames Conaty1870. The US Senate is still paying the bills having to do with the Civil War. One claim that comes through is from Anna Ella Carroll, whose claim is associated with being the so far unrecognized author of the Tennessee Plan, a battle campaign that arguably turned the tide for the North in ultimately winning the war. Miss Carroll's claim is despite now assassinated President Lincoln at the time having not named anyone as the author of the Plan in a Proclamation requested by Congress for a day of Thanksgiving in honor of the Tennessee victory. Miss Carroll's claims are not totally dismissed by the Senate committee dealing with the issue as her documented war efforts were many and she having been known to have the ear of President Lincoln. Beyond telling the circumstances of her dealings with President Lincoln to the committee members, something that she cannot substantiate with documentation, her story with respect to the Tennessee Plan and her official or unofficial as the case may be place in history with it is presented.

- DirectorJacques FeyderStarsFrançoise RosayAndré AlermeJean MuratTells the story of the Spanish invasion of Flanders
- DirectorRené ClairThe great French filmmaker René Clair crafted this elegant sepia-toned profile of Paris's iconic landmark almost forty years after the Eiffel Tower took its first bow (at the 1889 Exposition Universelle). It clearly still fascinates and awes in this loving and playful tribute. LA TOUR takes the viewer first up and then down the mighty structure while also acting as a tribute to its eponymous designer, Gustave Eiffel. The film initially burrows into blueprints and photographs of the earliest stages of its construction ahead of the opening of the World's Fair but Clair's film revels in the completed structure itself, reverently scaling its heights and accompanying tourists on up through the various levels toward the topmost landing. Clair also makes strategic use of double exposures and dissolves in capturing the mechanical exuberance of the tower lifts (which help make the great swooping steel latticework edifice a bounding symbol of the modern age). - Robert Avila
