  1. This is one of the first films people think of when they think of Major movie mistakes.  The film is set during the Punic Wars.  One actress made a good enough impression that the film was her ticket to Hollywood, where she starred in a remake of a famous silent film.  Otherwise, the film was an abysmal flop, in and out of the U.S.  Please name the uncredited producer, his infamous father, the film, at least one major goof in the film, and the actress who got a ticket to the U.S.  Extra points for naming the remake she starred in.

  2. The director is Louis J. Gasnier.  The serials you're asking for are either:

     

    "The Exploits of Elaine" (1914)

     

    "The New Exploits of Elaine" (1914)

     

    "The Romance of Elaine" (1915)--George Seitz directed this one, according to IMDB

     

    The Perils of Pauline" (1914)--I don't know the sequels to this serial.

  3. A Guess for "Mystery Photos #8: Mysterious Silents" photo number 2", where an addition to the post said the name "Walter Miller" was written on the back.  Walter Miller was a serial star from the 1910's through the early to mid 1930's. TCM lists 151 credits for him.  IMDB lists 263 acting credits for Miller.  I went through the credits and closest match seemed to be "Queen of the Northwoods" (1929).  TCM didn't have any photos, but looking at the cast photos IMDB has, I Think the man in the middle may be George Magrill, based on the facial features and the severe part in his hair in the still, which matches the part in his IMDB photo.  The other two people in the still I can't identify.  If nothing else, I hope the information about Walter Miller helps.

  4. LawrenceA--You're correct!

     

    "Hammersmith Is Out" (1972) is a "trailer trash" retelling of Faust.  I saw it on the late show when I was in high school, and laughed myself sick.  Critics hated the film, it bombed at the box--office, and is hard to find--at least I haven't seen it anywhere in the last 30 odd years.  If you find it, check it out.

     

    TCM--could this film be in the cards for Halloween 2017?

     

    Your thread, Lawrence. :)
