In 1915 the Pirone brothers of Belgium set up a film production laboratory in Baku. They invited film director Boris Svetlov from St. Petersburg (Russia) to work for them and produce "The Woman", "An Hour before His Death" and "An Old Story in a New Manner". It was Svetlov who also directed the film entitled "In the Kingdom of Oil and Millions" which later became so well known. The famous Azerbaijani actor Huseyn Arablinski played Lutfali, the main role in this film.
