This is one of 50 films from the DVD collection "Treasures from American Film Archives (2000)". It is perhaps the strangest film as I have no idea why the film maker decided to string together all these clips of the actress Rose Hobart and then use a blue filter on them. Was he some sort of obsessed maniac or was this meant as an art film? And whose decision was it to include the bizarre and rather intense musical score? Was the original film maker or the folks at the film archive or the people who compiled the films for the collection? All I know is that the film was awfully weird and not one that the average person would enjoy. Plus, many of the clips are in very rough shape--making viewing a less than pleasurable experience.
