Thanks for the heads up, I will certainly be looking into getting this set.

Thanks Robert for the wonderful scores for these Laurel & Hardy films. I really enjoyed them all, especially the score for PUTTING PANTS ON PHILIP, it was really nice! Thanks again. I am really looking forward to this Sunday's four films!

Thanks MN for the link, it was a very interesting article. Sad, yet hopeful at the same time.

Really enjoyed these Laurel & Hardy shorts. The Robert Isreal scores were A-1! The prints were pretty decent too! Thanks TCM!

Nice tune, Wendy! I do like John Hartford too. Here's another fun banjo performance. Grandpa Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgRj3zZGxJk&feature=related

It was a common practice to have some kind of theme for one or two characters in a silent film that had a score commisioned for it, and also in the later silent films that had Vitaphone or Movietone scores written for them (WHITE SHADOWS IN THE SOUTH SEAS or FOUR SONS for example). Sometimes one can put a theme or two together, if one was using the musical cue sheets provided for the silent films that did not warrent a commisoned score.

Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs:

MELODY CRUISE is a fun musical. Both Phil Harris and Charley Ruggles are great fun in this film!

I agree, I really liked the bits of music that Carl Davis compiled for this series. His score for Alice Terry's exicutiuon in MARE NOSTRUM (1925) is very powerful, as is the music used for the chariot race in BEN HUR (1925). I hope that one day if I ever get to see the John Collins film BLUE JEANS (1917), that isaccompanied by a Carl Davis score. The music used for the sawmill rescue scene is quite exciting.

She kind of looks a little like Anny Ondra in that photo as a blonde.

A favorite theme from Bernard Herrmann: (not from NORTH BY NORTHWEST)

A timely song from the Carson Robison Trio, "Prosperity is Just Around Which Corner?" (1932)

I forgot a couple more for the wish list: THE MAN WHO RECLAIMED HIS HEAD (1934) THE SCOUNDREL (1935)

I think that THE JOYLESS STREET is undergoing a restoration (if I remember correctly). Perhaps it may turn up looking a little nicer. I don't recall if GOSTA BERLING'S SAGA has ever run on TCM. Whether it has or hasn't, it would be nice for it to appear on TCM. It is an interesting film. They are both good films and certainly worthy of more exposure.

Yes Jeffrey, when AMC ran THREE AGES in the 90's, it was with the Robert Isreal score. I had taped it at that time and have since bought the dvd.

I enjoyed the post code pictures too! Great stuff!
