whistlingypsy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 During the opening montage for ?Silent Sundays,? there is a close-up image of a handsome man standing in the rain. He has a wide smile on his face as he is turning his face to catch the rain. Do you know this actor and the film? Could this be a scene from ?Sunrise??

Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think it's George O'Brien from SUNRISE..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeedan Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Just one correction and one addition to your list of films in the Silent Sunday Nights montage, Jeff. The "seductive glance" of Garbo is from THE KISS, not THE MYSTERIOUS LADY, and the very last shot of the swinging lantern is from THE WIND. I initially researched and posted this info 'way back in 2002 (has it really been that long?): http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=813&start=60&tstart=480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlingypsy Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks Dan for the clarification. I will add the titles to those listed by Jeff. I also found it very interesting to read your posting from 2002 including your reference to Norma Desmond: 'All in all, I still think the intro is a grand reflection of what Gloria Swanson said in SUNSET BOULEVARD: "We didn't need dialogue -- we had faces then."
