Quote:
Here’s the trailer from Ernst Lubitsch’s long lost silent film The Patriot, which is the only film nominated for a Best Picture Oscar that is now lost. Emil Jannings, Florence Vidor, and Lewis Stone star.

The trailer is fairly tantalizing, I mean who wouldn’t want to hear Jannings’ “Agonized Roar”, and the fact that it’s a Lubitsch film makes it doubly so. But sadly this is all we have left of the film save for some crowd footage that ended up in Josef von Sternberg’s The Scarlet Empress. Here’s hoping someday this one turns up.Read More »

Although Cops is one of the all-time great two-reelers, its creator, Buster Keaton, never thought much of it. He felt it was just a run-of-the-mill chase film, which suggests that perhaps Keaton was his own worst critic — the chase is what gives the film its brilliance. The film’s beginning is a portent of things to come: Keaton longingly looks at his girl Virginia Fox through what appear to be prison bars. In reality, it’s the gate to the mansion where she lives. The girl sends Keaton away, telling him not to return until he is a success in business. Keaton attempts to do so, acquiring, through convoluted means, a horse, wagon, and a load of stolen furniture.Read More »
