Surfing around YouTube, I came across a question: "Which was the first Space Opera film"? Australian SF movie fan, "Terry Talks Movies" posed the question, then pointed to a 1918(!) Danish(!) silent movie in the pre-"Flash Gordon" style above. Strap on your attitudes and break out the Grog, this is an interesting tale that is doubly UnHip. ("Black-and-white"! "Silent"! Oh Horrors!;)
