The Morning Bath with Miss Sybil Seely in Buster Keaton's "One Week" (1920) includes an early breaking of the fourth wall... As she reaches out to grab her soap which would have exposed her to the camera—the cameraman places his hand directly over the lens. Once she is safely back in the tub, the hand moves away, and she smiles and thanks him.

For those who only knew Lucille Ball from her iconic television series, it can come as a surprise that she did have a busy film career, including 75 movies before 1950. Many were uncredited during the 1930s, but several began to stood out, including this little jazzy number in "Dance Girl Dance" (1940).
