Garbo's Silents

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,

They do pop up occasionally on TCM. When I caught Love, I was surprised by the soundtrack. It's apparantly recorded at a live screening of the film with a generous amount of distracting laughter whenever John Gilbert goes ape over Garbo. Very bizarre. I'd love to have those, Torrent (the soundtrack on the version TCM plays is absolutely beautiful!!), and the others on DVD. I realize Warners is busy these days with an incredible amount of product coming out this year, but maybe these films will come out at some point.

Garbo was SOTM a few months ago and the station showed all of her American films (not The Joyless Street, as I recall). It was tied in with new DVD releases on the Warner Home Video label, though I don't remember what films were coming to DVD at the time. Use the "suggest a movie" button at the top of the page -- early and often doesn't hurt!

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.

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

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.
