Cinevent Notes: BULLDOG JACK (1935)
Herman Cyril “Sapper” McNeile’s fabulous adventurer Bulldog Drummond was nearly as popular as Sherlock Holmes in the 1920’s, a hit with the Public from the publication of the first novel, BULLDOG DRUMMOND in 1920. Captain Hugh Drummond D. S. O., M.C., late of His Majesty’s Royal Loamshires, along wi...

review of TOO MUCH JOHNSON at LACMA May 3, 2014
You know, as an aging, jaded film historian, I can wearily attest these days to the few who still give a rats ass that over the years there have indeed been a number of “lost” films that I have had the pleasure and privilege of checking off my “to see” list, partially due to so many “lost” films bei...

Nitratevile Reality Dept: THE DAFFY DILL
Hey Steve Massa, you can tell the guy who thinks his little strip of THE DAFFY DILL with Neal Burns is a major "lost" film discovery is as usual wrong. I have a complete print of it, LOC has a complete print of it, and at least two other collectors I know have prints of it. We ran a big ch...

Cinevent Notes: MR ROBINSON CRUSOE (1932)
Douglas Fairbanks Sr.’s talkie career in some ways is the real version of the John Gilbert legend, and also once again proves that having plenty of money, your own studio, and all the production control in the world cannot save a career when the public’s tastes change. Five talkies was all it took, ...

Re: SHAKE RATTLE AND ROCK (1956) with Margaret Dumont
Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I did! But my vision included Snitz Edwards, too, and I don't see him in this clip. Jim Snitz would have been great in this, but he was long dead (1937) by then, unlike Clarence Kolb, who was 83 when he made this and would make it to 90. I love it that he plays himsel...

Re: Cinevent Notes: THE SILENT MAN (1917) with William S. Ha
Yeah, that Three Stooges credit always use to baffle me. "What is John Ford's cameraman doing helming this short?" But one must always remember The Cohn Factor. Most of Columbia's top cameramen spent time down in the shorts department, Lucien Ballard shot a number of them in the late 30's...

Cinevent Notes: THE SILENT MAN (1917) with William S. Hart
THE SILENT MAN was William S. Hart’s second film under his new contract with Paramount Pictures following THE NARROW TRAIL. William S. Hart Productions was still contractually forced to have the words “supervised by Thomas H. Ince” in the opening titles, even though Ince had nothing to do with the p...

Cinevent Notes: THE ROAD TO MANDALAY (1926)
THE ROAD TO MANDALAY was considered a lost Chaney film for years before a 9.5mm print of a French four-reel cutdown version surfaced in the 1980’s and was blown up to 16mm. Ironically, this 9.5mm version was a pirated copy made for the collector market in the 1930’s, along with several other Chaney ...
