The Dalton brothers are famously reputed to be the worst bandits in the
Wild West but they surpass themselves when they attempt to rob a bank
just to please their mother. Naturally, the robbery goes
disastrously wrong and the Daltons end up back in prison.
Undeterred, the brothers somehow manage to pull of a remarkable
break-out and immediately head for the border with Mexico, in pursuit
of a magic sombrero that will solve all their problems. But the
journey proves to be strewn with hazards, and their mortal enemy, Lucky
Luke, is not far behind them...

The best French Films of the 1920s
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
