Oh, I so agree with you about Our Dancing Daughters and Pabst's Pandora's Box. I hope the powers that be monitor this board and see there is a large pent-up demand for classic movies, espcially the silents.

Yup, I agree especially since I am one of those people whose old DVD player (got it in 1998) only plays Region 1 DVDs!
What I don't understand is why classic silent cinema gems were issued on VHS but they haven't made it to the DVD format. Maybe the tape versions didn't sell well enough to encourage the controlling companies to expend the money to issue them in the digital format.

I'll keep my eye out for any showing of Love. While I saw it on TV years ago, it didn't have that particular soundtract. Sounds interesting!
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that "early and often" as you suggest.

Thanks for the info, but I made sure that I received the Garbo Signature Collection for Christmas, which, blessedly, had those silents. Much as I've enjoyed watching them over and over, they make my appetite grow for the Woman of Affairs and Love.

I am new to this message board so if this question has been asked ad nausem, please forgive me.
What I want to know are A Woman of Affairs, The Kiss, and Love (all Gargo silents) going to be released anytime soon on DVD?
I would dearly love to have them to own, but I'd settle for seeing them on TCM. Have they been shown recently?
Thanks,

I have the Kino release of Diary of a Lost Girl, and its quality is everything that one would expect from Kino. It's my hope that they release Pandora's Box so that it gets the same great treatment.
Thanks for the info on Prix de Beaute. I will order that one pronto!
