Kevin, Arguably, these are 3 of the biggest Silents Warner has released to date. All caught me completely by surprise. I wasn't expecting any of them at this time. There is no indication that DON JUAN will be anything different than the old MGM laser-disc. Not remastered as we were told was being do...

Mark of ZORRO 1920 Classic Starring Douglas Fairbanks as ZORRO and Noah Berry as Sergeant Gonzales Before I went to bed around 1am in the morning, I sometimes check my Cable TV Guide listing and discovered to my fancies that 1920 Silent Film staring Douglas Fairbanks is on Turner Classic Movies - 2...

:) I had never even heard of this movie before until just a few weeks ago. And now here it is already fully restored! This long unseen film, the first motion picture adaption of the famous Mark Twain Novel, apparently marked the movie debut of the lovely "American Venus" Esther Ralston. On...

:D Thanks everyone. But that is of course Colleen Moore (my first love) not Marion Davies. I'll have to do a Slide-show of Marion sometime. God-willing. Corinne Griffith too. I probably have enough photos of both ladies. I also have a John Gilbert Slide-show I did last Summer. These are the only fou...

Great pics!! I love the caption "Ooh Paramount, where the heck are my movies?" Spot on Jeff :lol: coopsgirl - you are absolutely right on - great pics - gagman66 - I love these Carla Bow is the greatest female star in the 1920's :D Nice to see this old thread make a comeback. Here are a c...

Christine, Very informative article. Some of the details were all new to me. To me it is disappointing that the Chaplin Estate will not allow THE GOLD RUSH in it's truest form, the original 1925 cut of the film to be given the deluxe treatment on DVD or Blu-ray. It is really the same with many of th...

Christine, :) Wow! Magnificent article! I haven't had time to read everything in depth, but caught some very interesting points. I'm anxious to read the second half of the interview later on. Thanks' for the clips as well. It's to bad that Carl's version of NAPOLEON, and BROKEN BLOSSOMS, and so many...

This is really exciting news, Gagman. Thanks for sharing it here. I found an article related to this on The Washington Post with video from "You're Fired" (1916-James Cruze, dir.) describing the arrival of ten of the recovered films in the United States. Yes, of the first 10 films returne...

:D Back in November of last year, news broke that 10 American Silent films, at least 7 of which were largely considered lost, were repatriated back to the United States Library Of Congress, from the Gosfilmofond Russian Film Archive. This was only the first shipment. As some 194 additional films are...

:? OK, here we go again. Maybe, just maybe, TCM is running a brand new transfer or even the Photoplay Productions version of WINGS, or a hybrid of such, on Sunday? I know I have said that before, to no avail. However, they ran a promo briefly, showing a few frames of SUNRISE and WINGS back to back. ...

:o You guys overlooked some things. The April schedule also contains the debut (I assume), of the newly restored SPARROWS (1926) with the Jeffrey Mark Silverman Orchestral score. Not yet on DVD. But it is on early Friday morning, not during Silent Sunday Nights. Back to back double bill of Mary Pick...

Allison, :o To me FOUR SONS is a Masterpiece One of the great films of the late 20's. At least in America. But it is crippled without the original Movie-tone scoring track by Erno Rapee and Lew Pollack. You can't tear away the beautiful "Little Mother" theme, but Fox stupidly did. The impa...

:) Last night I saw the Silent version of a completely forgotten movie from 1929-30, CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD and was blown away. Set in the years leading up to the French Revolution, with a Two-Color Technicolor finale. Apparently, there was both a Talkie, and Silent release of this title. Having seen ...
