Boys Sailing Boats, Tuilleries Gardens, Paris (film #5 on Pioneers of the French Cinema (Hollywood's Attic, 1996)). [Category: Early Film & TV]

Boys in Buster Brown suits sail elaborate and pretty cool-looking toy sailboats in a pond in a public park. This almost looks like a scene from a children's picture book––you expect Madeline to show up eventually.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: *. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
