gagman66 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thelma, THE DOCKS OF NEW YORK was released on VHS by Paramount many moons ago in the Mid to late 80's. It has never been on DVD. It is probably my favorite of all the Josef' Von Sterberg Silent's that I have seen.. A list that also includes SALVATION HUNTERS (1925), UNDERWORLD (1927), and THE LAST COMMAND (1928). There has been some surprise talk of a possible DVD release of late of THE LAST COMMAND, possibly forth-coming from Criterion with the consent of Paramount, rather than Paramount themselves. Unfortunately, UNDERWORLD the film that really kick-started the whole Gangster film genre continues to be sadly ignored. All of the surviving Paramount Von Sternberg Silent's should be released together if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagman66 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thelma, No, this is fine. I am still looking for the graphic of the poster for THE RACKET without the web-logo. I must have burned it to a CD, because I have hundreds, and hundreds of these movie posters, and didn't want to leave all the files on the slave-drive. Once located, I will be sure to send it to you. I personally feel that getting these Von Sternberg titles out, could be a strong first step toward the release of more of Paramount's Silent's on DVD. Regrettably, they seem to have no interest in UNDERWORLD at this time. Even though the film has been touring festivals, in a beautifully restored 35 millimeter print over the past couple years. Assuming that THE LAST COMMAND is licensed for DVD release as part of the Criterion Collection, maybe that will lead to the rest of the Von Sternberg Silent's, and some early sound titles finally making it to official DVD after-all? Right now, these are still unconfirmed rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottman1932 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Perhaps Criterion might put out a three disc set of von Sternberg silents like they did with Japanese director Ozu. The Ozu set is well worth searching for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagman66 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thelma, I have many more posters from both THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, as well as several other Lon Chaney films. I think these two are Lobby-cards, but they are amazing. It's to bad that almost none of the film still exists in 35 millimeter. I have several graphics of movie magazine covers with Corinne Griffith. I just need to locate the right files, or data disc that I burned them too. I know there are some videos on youtube dedicated to her, and I will look those up as well. I should mention that THE GARDEN OF EDEN (1928) originally included a 10 minute dream sequence filmed in Two-color Technicolor, that is today sadly missing from all know surviving prints. The Bebe Daniels poster from SHE'S A SHEIK (1927) with William Powell, seems to indicate a Technicolor sequence? The photo in the poster does not appear to be painted in any way?

gagman66 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thelma, Some of this information as listed by them, is incorrect. For instance, LADY OF THE NIGHT with Norma Shearer, was released in 1924, and most sources say 1925. There was no MGM yet in 1923, so if it was an MGM film, it had to be later than 1923. TCM has shown this movie a couple of times in the past. Although it is not listed WINGS also had Technicolor footage in 1927, during some of the ground battle, and flying sequences. Sadly this footage does not survive. Neither does the Technicolor footage from THE BIG PARADE. Both would be monumental finds if they were to turn up somewhere! REDSKIN is on DVD! It was released as part of the Treasures From The American Film Archives Collection Volume 3 last year. Though the original synchronized music track was not included? I assume that it is lost? Great to see the clip from Ernst Lubitsch OLD HEIDELBERG ( the European title of the picture). One of my all time favorite films, Surprising that the critical response was not more enthusiastic in the vintage review as one is inclined to expect? I do agree that Jean Hersholt stole allot of the picture. But Novarro, and Shearer were both wonderful in my estimation as the leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
