I dunno, I don't have the set. I have a great book on Borzage by McFarland Press with tons of beautiful stills from films I haven't seen that are in the set though.
Anyone? ...Anyone?
I was first introduced to him by the Museum of Moving Image here in Long Island City, Queens. They ran a film festival of his work a few years ago. I was surprised at the scope and grandeur of his work considering he was a name that barely registered to me, even though I...
I always liked the idea of recreating the ending of the Mummy's Ghost. Kharis successfully escapes with his quickly mummifying bride by sinking into a bog to be preserved for eternity. They're just out of reach of the horrified and outraged angry villagers with pitchforks and torches (read...
Rob,
Wild Boys of the Road is hands down one of my favorite films! What a raw brutal film! Anyone that comes over my house I make them sit down and watch this! :D
I think you could make comparisons between Taxi!, Heroes for Sale and the films of King Vidor. Together they can be seen as a way of beginning public discourse for a possible call for the creation or use of unions, communism and/or worker's rights.

If biblical era people wore fedoras, they'd probably be wearing smaller sizes. Due to diet, people were supposedly much smaller than we are now. For example, just below 5 feet tall was reportedly the average height.

Speaking of silent films, are you aware of the really rare and interesting Douglas Fairbanks film festival going on over the next 3 weeks or so at the MOMA? Wanna go some time? My work schedule through the holidays is crazy but I hope to make it to a few of the screenings, especially Mystery...
That side story about Loretta Young and Clark Gable really was crazy! I had no idea! I really liked him, and I think I've tried to push that information out of my head :eusa_doh: I might have to own this movie.
How was the '25 Wizard of Oz? I have never seen any of the silent Oz-related...
Oh that's great news, I'm so glad you liked it! I was really surprised about just how intense the story was. Also it was pretty eyeopening to realize that Los Angeles still wasn't too far removed from the wild west of a couple of decades earlier, LB Mayer ruled over the justice system with an...
Sure! This is my favorite era! The aesthetics of the early 30's era of filmmaking has never been able to be touched. I'm not sure why. It's so simple and timeless and yet brimming with style, figure that out :eusa_doh: lol
Loretta Young in the period is gagagorgeous!
I really like Cagney...
I know, I wanted to take pictures, but it's just me and him. I need an extra pair of arms to document it properly.... probably followed by a open minded tailor! :p
