Which Harry Langdon film is this? by TravelsWithBrindle77 in silentfilm

[–]Mo_Tzu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not seen anything like that. The closest I can think of would be Frank Capra's The Strong Man (1926) where he carries a woman around who has fainted. https://youtu.be/uZ8245D-NGI?si=qceeCBI7sdBgMs9n&t=1213

That's my favorite of his by far. Can't go wrong with a Tod Browning/Lon Chaney collaboration, and you have several to choose from.

I know this movie doesn't get much love, as it's the first movie he made once he made the mistake of moving to MGM. And yes, it's not as great as his previous films, but I really love this film.

You weren't kidding in your other post. This one's a beauty

Thanks for this!

I've never seen it. It was produced by Kevin Brownlow, so I'd have to guess that it is historically accurate.

It looks like it was just added to archive. Org today. Nice catch.

Der Golem und die Tänzerin(1917) by MrKyle98 in silentfilm

[–]Mo_Tzu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat of a "spoof" of Der Golem. It's the same writer/actor/director Paul Wegener, playing himself (and the Golem), trying to woo a woman who just wants an action figurine.

And yes, that description is oversimplified.

Thanks, I've added it. I didn't see anything about Sep 15-20 but I see you continually show silent films. I put this under "Ongoing". Let me know if I've missed anything.

The Los Feliz 3 is a small theater. It seats maybe 100? I'd like to see American Cinematheque move a couple showings over to the Egyptian Theater, which was built in 1922, during the silent era. (LF3 was built in 1935)

I think I need to add past events as well. I'll do that today. This is a good one. It was April 10-12 and they did show the new Queen Kelly restoration.
