The Silent Era of Film

In this episode, we shall look into five films of the silent era. Three of these films are now unfortunately lost: Robbing Cleopatra's Tomb (Cléopâtre) (1899), The Mummy (1911), and The Fool and Death (Narr und Tod) (1920).

The other two films, survive to this day, Die Augen der Mumie Ma (1918), and Egyptian Melodies (1931), a Disney film which although not technically a silent film, is relevant nonetheless.
