Cecil B. DeMille's 1927 silent masterpiece,
THE KING OF KINGS

You've got me jealous, too.

I've seen The Phantom of the Opera with the Technicolor masked ball reel, but that's the only two-strip I've seen on film. It would be great if the restored Black Pirate could ever make it across the pond...
