Would every grain of sugar available in 18th Century Paris . . .

. . . be enough to accommodate a half-mile long "sleigh ride" in the middle of August? This is the main question asked during MADAME DU BARRY, released by the always eponymous Warner Bros. during the apex of America's First Great Depression to warn the USA of the Coming People's Deluge against the Callous Conspicuous Consumption of the perfidious Pachyderm Party"s Fat Cat One Per Center Traitors. Within the context of this film, the answer to this seminal query seems to be that such rough sledding results in nationwide shortages (analogous to the bath tissue, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, meat, flour, yeast and other famines plaguing our U.S. Homeland in recent months), leading to an inevitable angry campaign to decapitate all the Fat Cats, as happened in Real Life France, where this movie's title character lost her noggin on Dec. 8, 1793.
