Paris interdit follows the pattern of the Italian mondo style documentaries which began in 1962 with MONDO CANE. The film jumps from one strange scenario to the next, including a woman who goes publicly nude on a bet, a family man wearing an anti-radiation suit in fear of the end of the world, a orgy-indulging cult with a kissing fetish, a role-reversal wedding of performing transvestites, a middle-aged man who gives striptease lessons to housewives, a self-absorbed loner who believes he’s a vampire, a ritualistic funeral procession involving the burning of a mannequin, a mass swimming pool baptism, etc. Probably the most fascinatingly grotesque bit, which at the same time is strangely touching, is when a woman has her beloved deceased medium sized dog stuffed by a pipe-smoking taxidermist (shown in graphic detail) and installed with an electronic barking device!

Centered around a vehement diatribe against pornography delivered by news reporter George Putnam, the film attempts to link explicit portrayals of human sexuality to the subversion and decline of American civilization, and briefly draws a parallel between pornography and Communist infiltration. Perversion for Profit illustrates its claims with still images taken from various softcore pornography magazines of the period-- though, 'sensitive' parts of the human anatomy have been obscured by colored bars. The film is in the public domain, and has become a popular download from the Prelinger Archives.

It, between tons of shots of bare-breasted Choco and Cuna Indian women, has a flimsy plot about a party of engineers "seeking" a continental highway route from South America through Central America to the United States.

Über den NS-Parteitag 1934 drehte Leni Riefenstahl im Auftrag des Führers „Triumph des Willens“. Sie setzte dafür 16 Kamerateams mit über 100 Mitarbeitern ein. Aus mehr als 60 Stunden Filmmaterial entstand einer der bekanntesten und wirkungsvollsten Dokumentarfilme überhaupt. Riefenstahl hebt die Solidarität der Parteibasis zum NS-Regime durch einen vielfältigen Bilderrhythmus heraus, wofür sie die chronologische Reihenfolge der Ereignisse aufbricht. Durch spezielle Kameraeinstellungen und ungewöhnliche Schnitte werden die führenden Nationalsozialisten vor der von Albert Speer gestalteten Kulisse in eine mythische Atmosphäre gerückt. Die Ausdruckskraft von Symbolen wie dem Hakenkreuz, Flaggen und dem Reichsadler werden durch Licht- und Musikeffekte betont.
