Long Lost RAMONA (1928) coming to Blu-ray!

[gagman66]

Wow! So you never thought you would see this film? I sure didn't. I figured that even after it was restored by the LOC that it would probably only get a few live screenings no and again. No, looks like Kino or someone has licensed it for DVD release and it will be coming out soon! Here is the announcement from Rob Stone, actually posted last Tuesday on Nitrateville.

 

*"Some day very, very soon we will have a blog at work and people will know many things about the goings on at the Library of Congress' Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation. Until then, here are a few things we got going in the film preservation/restoration department: THE FAMILY SECRET (Universal, 1924 with Baby Peggy), RAMONA (UA, 1928 with Delores Del Rio), DUMB GIRL OF PORTICI (Universal, 1916 co-directed by Lois Weber) and THE HEAD WAITER (Vitagraph, 1919 with Larry Semon and Oliver Hardy).... all of these are cooperative efforts with a total of six other archives. Also, have some great DVD/BluRay news coming soon to go with our already cool set up with Kino.... who just released our OF HUMAN BONDAGE and HELL HOUSE both with Bette Davis.*

 

*Big news coming before the end of the year dealing with streaming and downloading films from LC. Also Dolores Del Rio's RAMONA is going to be a DVD/BluRay release probably near the end of the year."*

I did not know about this movie. I enjoyed the book and there was a fairly decent (by Mexican telenovela standards) Mexican telenovela made around 2000 starring Kate del Castillo and Eduardo Palomo.
