It’s been 70 years since audiences were blown away by The Ten Commandments.
Director Cecil B. DeMille had a heart attack while filming the Exodus scene. Doctors warned him that returning to the set could kill him. DeMille replied, “I’d rather die than not finish the movie.”

The Pink Panther “Does your dog bite?” gag was already 80 years old when Peter Sellers did it.
It’s an old vaudeville joke from the late 1800s, and it lands because the “Zimmer” line disarms you first. Plus Graham Stark was Sellers’ best friend; the timing was years in the making

Gene Kelly didn’t want to sing “Singin’ in the Rain” on The Muppet Show.
Kermit took that as a challenge and made it the plot, coaxing him into it anyway.
It was the last episode they ever filmed, and the last time Gene performed it.
A poignant goodbye to the song and The Muppets

The Coen Brothers made THE ODYSSEY long before Christopher Nolan. O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000) is one of the funniest and most inventive modern retellings of Homer’s epic ever put on screen.

🎼So Far Away ♥️

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

This is real footage from 120 years ago.

None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...

What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.

The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.

Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...

By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.

And the film itself nearly went with it.

The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.

This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...

I saw so many of these as a kid, they freaked me out but I loved them 💙

There was a fantastic scene in one where all I remember is the humans watching a tiny horse riding in a corral - and by tiny I mean Barbie sized. I've never been able to find it since, I must have been five
