Here's a movie from 1916, well a movie short at 26 minutes, called The Mystery of the Leaping Fish.
Quote:
"Coke Ennyday, the scientific detective(Douglas Fairbanks), divides his own time in periods for "Sleep", "Eat", "Dope" and "Drink". In fact he's used to overcome every situation with drugs: consuming it to increase his energies or injecting it in his opponents to KO them. To help the police he discovers a contraband of opium (which he eagerly tastes) transported with "Leaping Fishes", and the blackmail of a mysterious man who wants to marry the "fish blower" girl. Will Coke be able to free the girl ?"

VE Day, May 8th, 1945 ended WW II in Europe. This film was made in Berlin only two months later in July. My father was impressed with the chains of women with buckets clearing debris, whereas the French were sitting around waiting for someone else to fix their shit.
From our Canadian friend NAG.

Although some sounds were added/present, the silence seems even more poignant.

As someone who remembers the b/w Newsreels of the time, seeing color films is still startling.
(Unfortunately, the b/w's that I remember most vividly were those of the Death Camps)

Oh, I wish I had one of those. And it could do 150mph. And, it has to have flame throwers and frigging lasers.

How not to load a tank, or more accurately a self-propelled howitzer.



Perhaps they should have winched it on.

For the impatient amongst you, fast forward to 2.50.
