What happens
Boulevard des Italiens é um curta-metragem mudo francês de 1896, dirigido e produzido por Georges Méliès. Registrado com o número 18 no catálogo da Star Film, é atualmente considerado presumidamente perdido. O filme é um actuality film — registro documental de cena cotidiana filmada com câmera fixa — e tem interesse histórico particular: Méliès filmou o boulevard onde seu próprio teatro estava situado, o Théâtre Robert-Houdin, no número 8 do mesmo logradouro. Em 1897, Méliès retornaria ao mesmo local para filmar Cortège du bœuf gras, Boulevard des Italiens. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
