Precoder, :) Hey Benji, it's great to see you so active on these boards! I was wondering have you seen Ernst Lubitsch OLD HEIDELBERG (1927) , starring Norma, Ramon Novarro, and Jean Hersholt yet? This has to be one of my favorite Silent's, not just with Shearer, or Novarro, but overall! I have anoth...

precoder,

Hey Benji, I have not heard anything from you in several weeks! What have you been up to? Hope to talk with you more very soon!

Beda, :o Please note, Janet Gaynor starrs with Charles Farrell in both SEVENTH HEAVEN (1927), and STREET ANGEL (1928)! Two of the greatest Silent films in my opinion, and both should be on official DVD! Another film that I sent you a copy of with Gaynor in the cast, is John Ford's THE SHAMROCK HANDI...

Danielle, :o Just to avert potential confusion, the Keaton Documentary found on the TCM Archives DVD set, was a recent project from Kevin Brownlow's Photo-play Productions. This one was produced just a few years ago in 2004. While the Three part BUSTER KEATON: A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW, I mailed you a co...

Danielle, :D Excellent review of THE CAMERAMAN, I could not have done any better! On the TCM BUSTER KEATON COLLECTION DVD set, there is a Documentary called SO FUNNY IT HURT, BUSTER KEATON AT MGM. In it, you can see some behind the scenes footage of this movie actually being filmed on the street's o...

:D This film just debuted a few months ago in a brand new Photo-play Productions Edition on Film Four in Britain, with a fresh score by Carl Davis. I have not seen it yet, but I'm expecting a friend of mine in England to send me a copy of the broadcast soon! :? Will the DVD, have the Carl Davis scor...

moirafinnie, :D That goes for you too. TCM had not showed this movie since 2004! They probably will not air THE FLYING FLEET again for awhile? So I wouldn't wait around if I were you. Especially since there is no need to! :roll: Incidentally, I have several other Ramon Novarro Silent's besides this ...

mrsl, :) Hi, I have THE FLYING FLEET on DVD-R. I would gladly send you a copy. That way you can see the ending for yourself. I will say this much, allot more happens than you probably anticipated in the last half hour, or so! :? I could give you the information, but wouldn't you rather watch it inst...

:o Still another Renee Adoree film, in my collection? Of course how could I forget? It's MR. WU (1926), with Lon Chaney, Ralph Forbes, and Louise Dresser! A bizarre tale, with Renee as a Mandarin's daughter. This one rarely airs on TCM, but it has been shown before. The Maria Newman score could cert...

:o Huh, how did your friend get to hear the score? Where was this at? What about FOUR SONS? Will it still have the original Movie-tone track? I sure hope so! They can not replace that! Just clean it up a little, and it was slightly out of sync at times, as aired on the old AMC years ago. They need t...

Izcutter, :shock: Phooey! I can not believe that they are not keeping the John Lanchbery score from the Photo Play Productions restoration! That makes no sense to me? Movieman1957, :roll: The version run of THE IRON HORSE run on The Westerns Channel, was the much older Killiam Shows/Blackhawk films ...

pktrekgirl, :( Well, THE FIRST KISS does still exist! But it appears to be stashed away in the Paramount vault someplace? I don't know if anyone has seen it since it was first released? I do have a tune from the original musical track, in Windows Media Player . Might be much the same with Lubitsch F...

:? Hey folks, I am looking for several rare Silent films. I have had no success finding any of these. So I thought that I might inquire here, and see what might happen? Has anybody seen these movies before? Your help in finding the films, would be greatly appreciated! I have gobs of stuff to trade! ...

moirafinnie, :? I have the same version as Beda. I got this from a fellow collector, a short time ago. It is not the best quality. The actual original recording may not have been all that bad, but it was not transferred well to DVD-R. I think this is the old Video-Brary version from VHS? It has the ...

:? I knew that I had at least one other film with Renee Adoree, but I just could not recall for some strange reason what it was earlier? How could I possibly forget? The Movie is James Cruze THE MATING CALL (1928). Renee starrs along side of Thomas Meighan, and Evelyn Brent, in this highly underrate...
