It doesn't appear that anyone has mentioned THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, with cinematography by three-time Oscar winner Robert Surtees.

The Wind by Victor Sjostrom which I caught just today.
The later years of the silent era (25 -29) were some of the best cinematography around and I would maybe hesitate only a little to say the best years of cinematographic, visual beauty in all cinema. It really died overnight in 1929.

I wish a print of Victor Sjostrom's THE Tower of Lies (1925) would turn up, LostHorizons:LostHorizons wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 3:46 am The Wind by Victor Sjostrom which I caught just today.

"THE TOWER OF LIES is a beautiful production with a flash of poignant drama at its end...Chaney and Miss Shearer especially are splendid." ---Moving Picture World
