Valley of the Kings with Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker. Very good!

This is a must see if you are a fan of film and the era.
A thank you to Mike for recommending this.
Feraud said:Yes it was intense. We rented it from Netflix. My wife and I both thought it was a great doc.
The information on Loretta Young and Clark Gable was eye opening. I had no idea...
You are correct about the Wild West aspect. Justice seems to have gone to those with the money, power, and violence to take it.
I had a chance to see the 1925 silent Wizard of Oz.
Feraud said:I too like Gable but what he and Young did to their daughter was horrific.
The '25 Oz was o.k. The story wasn't very cohesive but it was interesting to see Oliver Hardy in what is I assume his pre-Laurel & Hardy days. The film felt like a series of set-ups for various pratfalls.
I didn't know that but am interested in going. Let's work it out!mike said: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 of the Leaping Fish and When Clouds Roll By! How crazy to see these rarities on the big screen!
