When Rome Ruled
When Rome Ruled is a 1914 American silent historical drama film directed by George Fitzmaurice and starring Nell Craig, Clifford Bruce and Riley Hatch.[1] It was made at the American subsidiary of the French company Pathé, shortly to be relaunched as Pathé Exchange, at studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey. It was an attempt to imitate the classical epics of Italian cinema, but made on a much lower budget.[1] It marked the directorial debut of Fitzmaurice who emerged as a leading filmmaker during the 1920s.

gollark: > The interpretation of any value was determined by the operators used to process the values. (For example, + added two values together, treating them as integers; ! indirected through a value, effectively treating it as a pointer.) In order for this to work, the implementation provided no type checking. Hungarian notation was developed to help programmers avoid inadvertent type errors.[citation needed] This is *just* like Sinth's idea of Unsafe.
gollark: > The language is unusual in having only one data type: a word, a fixed number of bits, usually chosen to align with the architecture's machine word and of adequate capacity to represent any valid storage address. For many machines of the time, this data type was a 16-bit word. This choice later proved to be a significant problem when BCPL was used on machines in which the smallest addressable item was not a word but a byte or on machines with larger word sizes such as 32-bit or 64-bit.[citation needed]
