Cinevent Past Notes: ORCHIDS AND ERMINE (1927)
ORCHIDS AND ERMINE It can be quite entertaining to watch feminist revisionism try to fit silent stars like Marion Davies (sleeping with a millionaire who made her a star) or Louise Brooks (slept with practically everyone and having every opportunity handed to her on a silver platter while blowing pr...

Re: untitled Jimmy Aubrey

Re: Greenbriar Picture Shows thumbs ups SMILEAGE GUARANTEED
I stop by his Website every day just to look at the pics he has posted for the day. And they are all from his collection, are they not? He always credits the original owner when they are not.

Re: More Discoveries from the new version of The Blacksmith
I can't say I disagree with you Richard. It does sound odd (even though Keaton's film were considered lost until they started reappearing in the Fifties and any 35mm films would had been struck from those surviving reels). But there is one point which makes me wonder. We all seem to agree that THE ...
