Captain Salvation (1927) On TCM Tonight!

A late a reminder, CAPTAIN SALVATION (1927) is on TCM Silent Sunday Nights in less than a couple hours! This is in my view one of the best MGM Silents that no one has ever heard of. Or hadn't heard of before TCM premiered it in 2006. Truly an outstanding film!
Wonderful performances from Lars Hanson, Pauline Starke and Marceline Day. I love this movie! What ever you do, don't miss the broadcast. Record this one without fail. TCM hasn't run the picture since 2007. Not until this evening.
Very fine Orchestral score by Philip Carli too. Director John Robertson is almost completely forgotten, but was a famed and well respected film-maker in his day. This film was released on DVD-R by Warner Archive in January. A Warner Archive release thus far anyway, has not resulted in increased airplay for any titles on TCM. At least it is commercially available now. If you have not seen this before, and even if you have it is well worth viewing again.
