Robert,

I have two versions of SO THIS IS PARIS. One with Spanish Title-Cards. But neither one is the restored print that ran on TCM France in 2010. Try as I may I have not been able to find a copy of that broadcast anyplace. Did you see the clips I posted of LOVES OF CARMEN (1927)?

Robert, feaito, TCM airs the THE GODLESS GIRL with the Carl Davis score. Unfortunately, that version is not on DVD. I think it's one of De Mille's greatest films. TCM has aired THE VIKING a few times, but it has undergone and even more recent restoration since then. Maybe that is why Warner Archive ...

:) A very big announcement from The Criterion Collection. SAFETY LAST on Blu-ray in June. The first Harold Lloyd feature to make it to this format! And it will contain the 1988 Kevin Brownlow, David Gill Documentary THE THIRD GENIUS as a special feature for the first time on DVD or Blu-ray. http://w...

:D I can highly recommend the TREASURES WEST set. It is great. The transfers of both WOMAN HANDLED and MANTRAP are pristine from 35 millimeter prints.. Although WOMAN HANDLED is missing a reel I believe. It's still a fun little film. Worth getting the collection just for these films alone. But you a...

kingme, :) While I can't provide you with a look at RAMONA, I can give you a glimpse at another rare Dolores Del Rio feature Raoul Walsh's LOVES OF CARMEN (1927). As a Rita Hayworth fan, I'm sure you'll appreciate seeing this footage from the Silent version of 20 years earlier. I posted two clips on...

Alison, kingma, :) Very gradually the long lost Silent films of Clara Bow, Colleen Moore, Norma Talmadge, and Pola Negri, are being found and restored. So are the films of big name Male Stars of the day such as Wallace Reid, Thomas Meghian, Richard Barthelmess, and Milton Sills among others. It's ex...

:) I'm glad that people are enjoying the videos. Here is the latest installment. Vecchiolarry, I can't take creit for them. These Videos were done by a lady in Kansas who is obsessed with Claire Windsor. Must admit I've only really seen her in THE BLOT, and LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER thus far. ...

:o I've just seen the brand new BBC Clara Bow Documentary- HOLLYWOOD'S LOST LOVE GODDESS that premiered in December. What is this? I was dumbfounded at what I saw! In addition to the Color footage of RED HAIR (Not Outtakes), there are pristine clips from both THE RUNAWAY and ROUGH HOUSE ROSIE! That'...

:) This is some amazing stuff indeed! From Cawker City Museum. Radio Interview's and other recordings of Claire Windsor with Richard Lamparski. Boy, doesn't she sound just like Gloria Swanson? Her speaking voice I mean. She is asked about Valentino. Later there are photos at some Silent film convent...

:) Enchanting clip from the partial Talkie, GLORIOUS BETSY (1928). Directed by Alan Crossland. who helmed some of John Barrymore's best features. Titles such as DON JUAN, THE BELOVED ROGUE, WHEN A MAN LOVES, and GENERAL CRACK. His wife by this time Mrs. Barrymore, Dolores Costello was one of the sil...

:D Yes, It's really and truly happening! Ron Hutchinson broke the official news on Nitrateville Sunday! I'm not sure where these leaves HER WILD OAT (1927)? The Vita-phone project wouldn't have anything to do with that.. LILAC TIME though is another story. But HER WILD OAT was already fully restored...

Wendy, :D The Grapevine version of MANHANDLED is from a 16 Millimeter Kodascope Libraries cut-down struck in the 30's or 40's. It is missing well over a reel. Including the scene where Gloria does the Chaplin impression. However, one of the major archives, I think it's the LOC has a full-length 35 M...

8-) Based on the best selling novel. Recently restored by George Eastman House, hence the giant Eastman House logo. Once watchable mute on their website, it has since been taken down. I fully acknowledge them here, so I hope it is OK to post this clip with my own musical selections. As far as I know...

Wendy, :) I will be posting a bunch of new photos on the TCM boards. I don't post them here, because of the size restrictions on graphics. I was disappointed when TCM ran the wrong version of THE PENALTY this past week. Chuck Tabesh told me some months ago that it would be the new Restoration with a...
