When Knighthood Was in Flower and Beverly of Graustark are available on Blu-ray from Undercrank Productions, so I assume they are already sourced from 4K scans. Ben Model and I have discussed getting 4k scans for Beauty's Worth, The Bride's Play, and Little Old New York but not sure a Kickstarter w...

The salute starts tonight (after years of nagging the programming VP).... When Knighthood Was in Flower , which Ben Model Kickstarted, is a magnificent historical drama, and my Little Old New York project is a fun romp with a dramatic twist. Two of the biggest hits of the silent era. Thanks for the ...

Jack Fletcher was a character actor.... I seem to remember him from THE JEFFERSONS and such..... He usually played prissy, flustered characters.

Here's news on my 22nd Kickstarter project.

The Awakening of Ruth (1917) stars Shirley Mason (sister of Viola Dana) as an island wild child who goes to the big city to study music and must decide between two suitors. Filmed on the Maine coast.

Marion Davies is Star of the Month in January

Re-watched WHAT'S UP, DOC? (1972) which remains a comedy fave. Hard to believe this film is now 50 years old! Great work by Barbra Streisand, Ryan O'Neal, and Madeline Kahn in her feature film debut. There's also a comic gem of a performance by Liam Dunn as the harried judge. He's hilarious. So are ...

Leslie Jordan was in several films by Del Shores....

William Reynolds? Veronica Carlson? and NO SALLY KELLERMAN ???

Did I miss LESLIE JORDAN or was he omitted?

and no SALLY KELLERMAN !! Oscar nominee.... BIG MISS

In past years, they GENERALLY tried to get at least one film from each decade. Or at least it seemed so. Maybe that was just a coincidence.

Garbage list... NO SILENT FEATURE FILMS..... Nothing from the 1930s or 40s....

Yup that's me. I'm probably done with Kickstarting Davies' films since most of the ones left have already been put on on disk or are tied up by other archives. I know Ben Model is planning one for 2024 and that'll be a goody. I'm working on a new Marion Davies book and will probably Kickstart three ...

Hi all. I've migrated from TCM and haven't posted on this board in quite a while. Anyway, here's some news. Marion Davies is finally Star of the Month on TCM in January and will air three of my Kickstarter projects: BEAUTY'S WORTH, THE BRIDE'S PLAY, and LITTLE OLD NEW YORK as well as two of Ben Mode...

Here's info on my new Kickstarter campaign. ENCHANTMENT was a big success.

Hi all. Here's a link to a project I just started to get a copy of this Marion Davies film out of Library of Congress. I hope it's the start of many such projects spearheaded by me and others.



THANKS
Ed

Good news about the new book on John Gilbert.....
