Hi Brenda! It's great to see you here! :D That is the one, Even B. You are from Norway then, aren't you? Synnöve was made into a film by John Brunius in 1919, starring Karin Molander and Lars Hanson.

Lillian Gish was a different kind of actress from Bette Davis and Kate Hepburn, she had a very different personality.

This thread has practically become a shrine to her. The images are beautiful, Classic Redhead. Edna always maintained a gentle, graceful presence, even in the most outrageous slapstic situations.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone!! It looks pretty okay, for a mob. :D Mr Arkadin, The Phantom Carriage is one of my favourite movies. I hope you will like it too. I like Bergman as well, although I haven't seen so many of his movies yet. Chi0, I'm not sure they would agree to that... :shock:...
