Note - this film looks pretty intense. It probably isn't for the kids, but for any folks who get excited about history - it may be a hit....It was made in 1928 (!) before there were talkies, and it's about her trial and death............no words spoken. Apparently the film was lost and then found several decades later. I'm going to watch it on Friday and see if my 10 yo can watch any/all of it. If not, it looks so good that I will indulge myself........
