Rene Clair's science fiction comedy is kind of a disappointment. The basic plot and themes have been copied to many times. A mad scientist has invented a device that puts Paris in a state of suspended animation. A group of people unaffected by this device run amock in Paris indulging their every whim. The scientist is convinced to shut the freeze ray off and things return to normal.
The views of Paris from the Eiffel tower are fun to look at and you get
some good shots of 1920's Paris traffic. I enjoyed a couple of the scenes of the group ransacking
Paris.
One joke shows the Mona Lisa shoved into the back of their car
like it was just a cheap print from a Target superstore.
35 minutes.
