No, I haven't watched it right through as I'm yet to see a good restoration. I see you've posted a pretty reasonable one, though the frame speed is still somewhat varied!! It has some luminaries in the credits: William Cameron Menzies and Paul Bern, being just two of these. You mention the acting st...

On the subject of Conrad Veidt (a topic and personage I never grow tired of discussing), this scene at 45 minutes here in Part 2 of The Indian Tomb absolutely blew my sox off!! Veidt was a volcano: shades of Cesare from "Cabinet" in this sequence!! Veidt developed a habit of closing his ey...

Yes !!!!!! I've recently ordered it on Ebay but there's absolutely no sign of it!!! "Conny" Veidt and those beautiful eyes!! What's not to love?? British director Michael Powell referred to Veidt's "magnificent authority". :smiley_worship: Belle, you complimented me on this thre...

Walter Brennan was outstanding in "The Far Country" with James Stewart. 1954 Directed by Anthony Mann.

In the biographies I've read about Hawks and Ford, both books said Walter Brennan was a nuisance on set and he simply never shut up!!

" Western Union ", 1941 Fritz Lang. A great tale! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOcyX5Buabo " The Man from Laramie ", 1955 Anthony Mann. A STUNNING restoration has been made of the entire film, if you can get it!! A very good film from a first rate director. https://www.youtube...

" Santa Fe Trail ", 1940, Michael Curtiz. A terrific film and here is the complete restoration on U-Tube. It's a great yarn and I note Special Effects by Byron Haskin who went on to become a well-known noir director!! Byron Haskin directed two noirs that I know of, both with Lizabeth Scot...

" Broken Lance ", 1954 Edward Dmytryk. A very fine film!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lQDzGZHoos In this opening title sequence you'll hear the full splendour of the Hollywood Fox orchestra!! Just phenomenal. Of course, most of the musicians were from the LA Philharmonic!! But they we...
