jondaris, :) Hey, I love this Movie! I first saw it a little over a year ago, on TCM. Yes, Dorothy Janis was indeed a stunning beauty! I definitely wish that She had made more films too! The vintage score is wonderful. I have not watched the movie in awhile, so I will not attempt a detailed descript...

Izcutter, :? Sad to say that I have never heard of MAJOR DUNDEE before? Or if I did, I have forgotten about it? Care to enlighten me on this one? :) Caliendo produced a brilliant score for the Norma Shearer Silent A LADY OF CHANCE (1928), so He appears to be a real talent! That being said, I definit...

Izcutter, :D Well all I can say is maybe Glenn Beck is right and this is indeed "The End Of Days"?! I thought that was what it would take for Fox to get the John Ford Silent's out on DVD! But I am thrilled, if THREE BAD MEN and FOUR SONS are finally both coming to DVD by the end of the thi...

jondaris, :? Sad to say, I saw WONDER BAR, but did not record it. However, sticking with Delores Del Rio, I do have Raoul Walsh World War 1 Epic WHAT PRICE GLORY? (1926), and this version has the original Movie-tone track too! Would you be interested in that great film instead? It is very difficult ...

FEEL MY PULSE (1928)

:lol: Wow, some funny, funny stuff here! It's the quintessential "Good Little, Bad Girl" of the Silent screen, the delightful Bebe Daniels at her very best! :? Daniels was a major star during the silent era, but other than those that she made with Harold Lloyd, and Gloria Swanson, her Sile...

dfordoom, :) I like this movie but it was a very odd choice for the DVD set. In my mind Garbo's best Silent films, are not yet available on official DVD. A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS (also 1928) is in much better condition, and boast's a Carl Davis score. The cast is superb with John Gilbert, Louis Stone, Dor...

feaito, :) Yes I am very lucky to have all the out-of print Silent Paramount VHS releases on DVD-R. Including THE COVERED WAGON (1923), and OLD IRONSIDES (1926). I also have THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1923), on DVD from the release you mentioned earlier too. A great picture with an awesome cast! Paramoun...

moirafinnie. :) I was wondering I you have you seen THE DOCKS OF NEW YORK (1928) before? The print that I have is very good pictorial quality. The film stars George Bancroft, and Betty Compson. It probably has not turned up on TCM as yet, since it is a Paramount Silent? Maybe it will be included in ...

featio, :? Actually, other than the lack of Extra's, my own DVD-R version of this film is far more elaborate looking than the official DVD is! I made this up after TCM ran this movie the first time back in late 2004, or early 2005. It was not until a few months later, when I learned a true DVD versi...

morifannie, :) This is one of my favorite Silent films, I have written a great about it over the past week on the TCM board. The restoration TCM aired last Sunday is available on DVD from Flicker Ally Company. This outfit makes very good Silent film DVD's. I would have to describe Robert Israel's mu...

A Lady Of Chance (1928)

:) I was quite fortunate enough to pick up a nice copy of this feature on DVD-R a couple weeks ago from a member of the TCM forum. The movie had debuted on TCM a few years back, but somehow I managed to miss it each time it has been shown in the past? A delightful romantic comedy, this rather obscur...

Jondaris, :) Delores Costello certainly stands tall in this picture among the great beauties of any era of movie making. Boy, what a Knockout! I agree that as a Silent film this movie is truly spectacular! The flood sequence staggers the imagination, even today! Unfortunately, as a partial talkie it...

It is still under-copyright but, they had the permission of Fox to put this one out! The print is very nice, and multi-tinted throughout! The original orche...

Izcutter, :roll: I wouldn't get my hopes up. Just like Paramount, Fox should relinquish the rights to these films, if they are not going to do anything with them! I have been hoping to see a nice Box-set of John Ford Silent's for several years. THREE BAD MEN (1926) is still another feature that shou...

Brown Of Harvard (1926)
