I'm trying to pick out films for which several stills exist.

Not to my knowledge.

Thanks for the warning!

Jolt (Amazon Prime) Kate Beckinsale (as a blonde) has a problem with anger management, so her shrink (Stanley Tucci) devises a sort of electronic strait jacket she can wear - and when she feels the urge to beat the snot out of someone, she presses a button and that calms her down. She falls for a g...

NOW I understand why some posters want a "dislike" button.

I also see that he was a favorite of the whole Barrymore clan, and appeared in films with all of them in the silent era.

I'm more impressed that he was a mathematics teacher.

Gina Lollobrigida pass yesterday. My favorite film she was in was her first major English language film, the John Huston farce, Beat the Devil. She played the Italian wife of Bogart and she had many very funny lines that she carried off in her sexy style. I like her foreign films more than her Amer...

The Library of Congress lists the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation as the Copyright Claimant for Valley of the Giants. I assume the corporation no longer exists. So was Lasky claimant for a time, and then the copyright expired? I assume that is the case.

I'd be curious to know more about the restoration process. Since the film was in the Gosfilmofond in Russia, how does it g...

I saw this as well over a year ago and enjoyed it. I did see one "development" coming which I felt was a bit much, but overall, it was an interesting film and well worth sitting through. There is a sequel, which I also saw, but didn't feel it was as good as the original.

Meighan is shown below, again in Pittsburgh, with two Paramount publicists: https://i.imgur.com/HwFTFhw.png The publicist on the left looks like Louis B. Mayer. Yes, he does, but it isn't him. I think I can dig up the names of those two guys. Update: the guy on the left is Walt Lindlar, the guy on ...
