El Dorado (1921) - excerpts
El Dorado is a film directed in 1921 by Marcel L'Herbier. In this scene, the heroine is a performer in a Spanish cabaret. While onstage, she worries about her sick son, and her distraction is suggested by a filter that blurs her figure but not the women around her. As the other women snap out her reverie, the filter disappears and she comes into sharp view.
