Film Synopsis
In a Parisian café, a party of American politicans discuss the
threat posed by marauding Indians. To put a definitive end to
this red peril they summon General Custer, who promptly arrives at the
Gare du Nord in his Civil War uniform. The appearance of this
showy military man may please his female admirers but it does little
for General Grant, his sworn rival...

Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
