William Hogarth (1965)
Overview
According to Bernard Cohn's review, the directors "show that the painter of British society at the beginning of the 18th century was not only ahead of his time in his aesthetic theories, but that he carried within him the signs that allow us to recognize a creator." (Positif, no. 70, June 1965, p. 73.)

The House That Shadows Built (1931) is a short feature, roughly 48 minutes long, from Paramount Pictures made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the studio's founding in 1912. It was a promotional film for exhibitors and never had a regular theatrical release and includes a brief history of Paramount, interviews with various actors, and clips from upcoming projects (some of which never came to fruition).
