As the title of this French documentary indicates, Ce Siecle a 50 Ans examines the 20th Century at its halfway point.

Complementing the vintage film clips are three dramatized sketches, delineating the romantic customs of three different points in time. These sketches are inadequately performed, and can easily be ignored. Ce Siecle a 50 Ans both preserved and provided celluloid material for scores of future documentaries.
