PARIS QUI DORT (translation: "Paris Who Sleeps") is a French science fiction comedy silent feature film. It has been released under the titles "At 3:25" and "The Crazy Ray." It was released in United Kingdom in January 1925 and in the United States on June 29, 1926.

The film is about a mad doctor who uses a magic ray on citizens which causes them to freeze in position. But there's a group of people who are unaffected by the ray and have their run on Paris.

This seems like it could be an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Written by René Clair
Cast - Henri Rollan, Charles Martinelli, Louis Pré Fils, Albert Préjean, Madeleine Rodrigue, Myla Seller, Antoine Stacquet, and Marcel Vallée

This film is in the public domain meaning it has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. Corporations lobbied Congress to get U.S. copyright laws extended by 20 years, twice! Because of that, it allows published works to be under copyright for almost a century and corporations to squeeze every last ounce of profit from them even long after the profitability has past. It keeps people from enjoying art, which is the purpose of art.
