William S. Hart was also very like Clint Eastwood in that he popularized the "good bad man", years before Clint did. It makes his heroes more interesting, to be sure. Even though he basically turns over a new leaf as soon as he sets eyes on the good woman, without much internal conflict, h...

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. I believe it was filmed on location in Norway. I have always found the stills intriguing. They show ...

Thank you cinemalover, Judith, Fernando and Dawtrina! Fernando, I am very glad to see you here too!! Judith, that post made my day. :D Dawtrina, it is really Synnøve. It was one of Karin Molander's roles, based on a Norwegian story. Synnöve would be the Swedish spelling. I discovered silent movies w...

I am a very big fan of Fred and Ginger. When I'm feeling low for no reason, their films never fail to cheer me up. They are the perfect escapism - two great leads who always work magic together, lots of charm and humour and great songs. Of course, some of the films are better than others. My favouri...

Lillian Gish was a different kind of actress from Bette Davis and Kate Hepburn, she had a very different personality. If she is not so well regarded as they are today, it is because she is mostly associated with the silent era. I'm not sure it's true that she isn't as well-regarded though. You hear ...

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. I think she was an important factor in why Chaplin's films were something special, something a bit more ...

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:...
