Re: More Fun with Dunn (aka Bobbie Dunn V)

Here's another one with Dunn, this time featuring him as a Chinese launderer. I have a note that it could be 'One Stormy Orphan'. Any thoughts?... http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj2dPzt7WQj1XIIOaNA8jPQ/videos ONE STORMY ORPHAN is what I have the same copy listed as, but have never found a listing ...

Re: OUT OF THE TREES (1975) rare Graham Chapman pilot

But getting back to Graham, I found this pilot of his a very interesting window into his writing ability. Chapman is always the odd man out in this regard, being overshadowed by his famous writing partner. Here he teams with Douglas Adams and Bernard McKenna, and yet the entire program has a defini...

Re: Cinevent Past Notes: ORCHIDS AND ERMINE (1927)

Is the surviving version of Orchids and Ermine mostly complete, or is it a cut-down Kodascope version? The British Film Institute has a print from nitrate material that barely runs seven reels, but it is missing about half a reel from the original release length due to decomp and perhaps the Britis...

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville

Well, once again, among the general doldrums and misinformation, a couple of laughs over at Nitratevile this weekend: Mike Gebert got after a member for deleting their posts in the 90th Anniversary Chaplin Mutual thread (Delete posts? How dare they! That’s his job!). Then, in a thread about Father B...

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: 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. Yep, he has a fabulous collection of material which he generously shares on Greenbriar Picture Shows. RICHA...
