So what's this? Rumblings on the TCM board this morning that King Vidor's long lost 1926 MGM Production of BARDLEY'S THE MAGNIFICENT, starring John Gilbert and Eleanor Boardman, has been found apparently in-tact, in a French Archive? Does anyone here know anything more about this story?

Mr. Eyman, :) While I must confess to having not read any of your books to date, I fully intend to do so. I have been a Silent film fan for about 30 years. My family had lots of the old Blackhawk films releases in Super 8 millimeter film format, when I was a Kid. :D My Father started collecting thes...

markfp, :o I posted an earlier response the other night, but it got deleted in the server crash. Anyway, thanks much for the info on FAZIL. Although, surely it must have been screened somewhere again, since clear back in 1985? Hasn't it? At least, I would hope so? :? What can you tell us about this ...

:) I posted a whole bunch on this the other night. Unfortunately, it all got deleted in the server crash. Anyway, some very, very, big news! I am rather surprised that No One is talking about this yet??? :shock: Well, according to Silent Era.Com the brand new new restoration of Frank Borzage's THE R...

Beda, :? Well, I kind of brought this matter up a few weeks ago on the TCM forum. It is not exactly the same thing, but I did comment that I was far from overwhelmed with virtually any of these "Guest Programmers", and their paltry selections! Here is the post in response to zelda71: zelda...

moirafinnie, :o A wonderful review. There is at least one glaring omission in your detailed description of the evening love sequence, but perhaps you kept that out deliberately? So I will not reveal it here. :D Ernst Lubitsch THE STUDENT PRINCE, or as the Main title actually reads OLD HEIDELBERG, ha...

moirafinnie, :) TCM actually airs the BFI, or Photo-play Productions version of this film with a new score by Neil Brand. :? This is not the same as on the current Image DVD, which has two scores. One is a Vintage recreation, based on the original Cue-sheets. The other a somewhat more modern soundin...

:D Terrific late 20's MGM Silent feature from top Director Alan Dwan. . With the beautiful, and magnetic Renee Adoree , in one of Her few Starring roles. A better title for this picture might have been " OLD CALIFORNIA "? As the story begins just shortly before "The Great Gold Rush of...

:o OK, I just found out about THE SEA BEAST (1926) DVD a couple weeks ago. But I knew nothing about BEAU BRUMMEL (1923) , until just now! Who is releasing this DVD? Is it the same Mystery company as THE SEA BEAST , and LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER (1923)? Has anyone here seen anything before from...

mrsl, :o I have been an Elvis Presley fan all my life. I guess because my late Mother , and even my late Grandmother were such huge fans! WILD IN THE COUNTRY from 1961, which TCM just aired is arguably Elvis best film! I would not describe this one as a Cookie-Cutter Movie at all. Save for maybe one...

:) Well, it's good to know that the E-mails finally started getting through. I did get a couple responses from you, but two of them I received a couple days after they were sent? The regular Mail has not been good either. I sent this guy in Richmond Indiana a package via First-Class Mail a week ago....

Beda, :o Not sure what " Wonky " means? But It sure sounds funny! The E-mail has been a Nightmare! I must have sent you half-a dozen of them over the weekend, and I'm not sure how many that you received? I resent a couple of them twice! :shock: Derek said today He sent me an E-mail on Thur...

Beda, :? Well, If you will tell me who this seller is, maybe I can buy one or two of these from him, and than trade with you later on? SLIDE, KELLY, SLIDE has been marketed by a few people in the past, at least according to Silentsaregolden.com. But I could never find a copy anyplace for some reason...

precoder, :o Hey Benji, that's great news about the Valentino, and Able Gance collections! But I wonder when is Flicker Alley actually going to release TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS (1927), THE RACKET(1928), and THE MATING CALL (1928)? :roll: All three of these movies were restored by them, and a DVD set has ...

Beda, :shock: Holy Smokes! How did you ever find both THE COSSACKS (1928) , and LUCKY STAR (1929) ! That's certainly incredible news! Thanks so much for sharing here! :roll: Yes, the infamous lady who restored Her own version of THE COSSACKS , added an Orchestral score. I have seen a couple clips fr...
