Did You Know?
| Trivia | The ballet "Relâche" ("Theatre Closed") premiered at the Théâtre des Champs Elyseés in Paris on December 4, 1924. Based on a book and with settings by Francis Picabia, it was a ballet in two acts commissioned and staged by the Ballets Suédois of Rolf de Maré, with choreography by Jean Börlin. As the title "Entr'acte" implies, this film was shown between the two acts, with music by Erik Satie. See more » |
| Goofs | Obvious stand-in for the close-up of Rolf de Maré getting kicked in head, which sends him (via reverse motion) flying back into the end title. The "kick" itself is clearly achieved through reverse motion. See more » |
