The nightwatchman of the Eiffel Tower awakens one morning to discover that time has stood still, and that only he and a group of airline passengers who were out of range of whatever it was that caused the phenomenon are unaffected. A quaint fantasy from Rene Clair that perhaps doesn't explore the implications of its premise in enough depth, but which still has plenty of fun with the idea. The city of Paris provides the backdrop for some stunning shots filmed from the Eiffel Tower.
