Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I thought you would like Professional Sweetheart, Wendy. It's been a favorite of mine for ages. And it's one of Theresa's better parts!

Wendy, rather than repeat my comments from Facebook, I'll just say Brava!

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Thanks, Wendy, for the Dorothy Sebastian pictures. She certainly does appear to have had a highly developed sense of humor!

Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
Good point, Red. But somehow it seems that Goodis feels right in a 25 cent paperback original.

Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
Goodis was a powerful writer, ChiO, and he belongs in the company of Woolrich.

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Thank you for the tips, Masha. I believe that laughter is one of the things that makes life worth living, and that great comedy leads to a deeper understanding of the human condition than tragedy. I have heard good things about those three, and I am already quite fond of The Girl With the Hatbox and...

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Only recently, Masha, did I discover that a Russian film can be funny.

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Masha, thank you for posting about Vera Kholodnaya. She certainly was spectacularly beautiful, and I look forward to see as many of her films as possible to see that versatility. I have never been very fond of the "classics" of the Soviet cinema, but have recently discovered Russian artist...

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Wendy, it has been a long time since I have seen The Red Man's View, but I feel strongly that the iconoclastic portrayal of Griffith as merely a racist is not a complete or even fair picture of a human being, complex as are we all. And, frankly, I wish the bald, seemingly all-inclusive, but actually...

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Thank you so much, Theresa, for the link to Eve Golden's column on Clarine Seymour. Actually, the real eye-opener for me is the discussion of Bobby Harron's death in the Comments section. He has always been one of my favorite Griffith actors, and Celia wrote a book-length study of his work when at S...

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
My friends, I have been lucky enough to see practically all of Griffith's surviving films, and I don't consider any of his work except The Birth of a Nation particularly controversial, then or now, although many of his films of the twenties are shamefully underrated by most commentators. Right after...
