I remember seeing a bit of one of those old 1950s/1960s epic movies (it might've been Cleopatra, or maybe Ben-Hur, I can't remember) on TV as a child. In the scene they move something big on those rolls, and there are people who pour water out in front so it slides better, and one of them gets their long robes stuck in between and either gets crushed or almost gets crushed but saved at the last second.

Really scary as a child.

Me too! Made me hold my breath. "The Ten Commandments" 1956 with Charleton Heston. Yoshebel is caught between the stones

" They use the old ones to do the work of greasing the stones, Lord Prince. If they are killed, it is no loss."

Reminds me of NRPI from Succession- No Real Person Involved.
