WillMcFly Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I saw a silent film on TCM several months ago (or perhaps longer). It was on late so I don't remember the details but specifically a girl runs away in the snow and then gets buried in a little house until they come to rescue her. Does anyone remember this film? More recently there was another silent film which was a classic about working class in New York around the turn of the century. Man and wife have a child who gets hit by a car. Really sad film. If anyone could help me remember the names of these films I would be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think the working class film is "The Crowd". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMcFly Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thank you Fred. The Crowd is the movie I saw. Mr6666, that's exactly the movie. I hope someone can remember the name. --Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGulch Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The film you're wondering about is VISAGES D'ENFANTS (1925) by French director Jacques Feyder and is available for purchase in a box set. Really beautiful story and one of my top ten favourites! Here's a synopsis: http://www.filmsdefrance.com/FDF_Visages_d_enfants_rev.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMcFly Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 That's great. Thank you very much. Do you mind if I ask in which box set is it available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGulch Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 You'll find VISAGES D'ENFANTS (FACES OF CHILDREN) in a 2006 DVD box set by Image called REDISCOVER JACQUES FEYDER/ FRENCH FILM MASTER which includes two more of his films: CRAINQUEBILLE and QUEEN OF ATLANTIS, available at Amazon. By the way, many public libraries are adding silent films on DVD to their collections and are quite amenable to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
