Notes

IB Tech^Warner Brothers^-- TJL 8/15/2013^Content: Film has no dialogue and uses ballet and music to tell the story of a woman who goes to a hotel and has a man sneak into her room to steal her jerwlry. The woman tricks the burglar by hiding a dummy in her bed. When the burglar comes into her room at night in a blue leotard and mask, she is hiding behind a fake mirror in the same outfit. When the burglar comes to her room he mistakes her for his own reflection. Once the woman catches him stealing her jewlry she confronts him and they dance together. He returns her jewelry piece by piece as they dance. The costumes and set use rich colors to that show off the vibrancy of the Technicolor process. -- TJL 10/8/2013
