Babylon from Intolerance (1916)

[Karak Norn Clansman]

The movie director D.W. Griffith's strange and highly expensive film Intolerance from 1916 is to date the only movie featuring independent Babylon that I know of. Fantastical sets. There are elephant sculptures in there for some reason, but overall it looks rather brilliant in black-and-white, or perhaps aged sepia.

Check out its Babylon scenes sometime for the visuals! (The only Youtube videos with only-Babylon-scenes have atrocious video quality.)

They really did a lot of work on huge sets back in the day.
Fritz Lang's legendary SciFi movie "Metropolis" also had huge and detailed sets.

 

[Killer Angel]

Those are some beautiful and action-packed movie sets!
