The Gallery of Monsters
Married carnival performers are subjected to the abuses of their employer in this silent film gem that has not received as much attention as it deserves. When the boss' unwanted advances on the wife are refused, he taunts a lion until it nearly kills her. But the other performers assist in a unique plot for revenge. Jaque Catelain directs and stars in this film made for influential French director Marcel L'Herbier's production company. Some sources also list L'Herbier as co-director, as he is credited here. The film boasts some rapid-fire editing techniques that were decades ahead of its time.

Thanks for the memories!
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
