Pace That Kills, The (1928)

Starring Owen Gorin and Thelma Daniels……£7.49

 

Padre aka The Palace of Flames (1912)

Directed by Dante Testa and Gino Zaccaria and starring Ermete Zacconi, Lidia Quaranta, Dante Testa and Febo Mari, this film has a runtime of 39 mins and the print quality is very good. This is an Italian silent with Dutch intertitles and English subtitles.

Plot: Evariste Marny, a business rival of Andrew Vivanti, is threatened with ruin, and to eliminate competition hires a town vagabond, Tonio, to fire the factory of Vivanti. Changing his clothing after having fulfilled his part of the bargain, Tonio carefully preserves a card bearing Marny's handwriting, an agreement as to the time for the deed to be committed, etc., etc., believing that someday it might be of value. Several lives are lost, and suspicion of having set fire to his own establishment for the insurance benefit is cast upon Vivanti. He is tried, found guilty, and sentenced to prison for life. Marny prospers, and becoming conscious of the wrong he has done, adopts Vivanti's young daughter to make amends to his conscience. After thirteen years in prison, Vivanti makes his escape. Disguised as a rag picker, he begins a new life in search of his daughter and of information that will prove his innocence. He takes up his abode in an inn of low repute and begins his search.

Review: An ordinary tale of wronged imprisonment that is partly redeemed by the fact that it chooses not to follow the usual path of the protagonist seeking revenge for wrongs suffered, and greatly enhanced by an impressively staged climactic blaze and rescue from a collapsing staircase which is (as far as I’m aware) quite unlike anything filmed up to that point….£7.49

 

Pagan, The (1929)

Starring Ramon Novarro, Renee Adoree, Donald Crisp and Dorothy Janis. Plot: Henry, the pagan son of a white father and native mother, has inherited land and a store, but he prefers the simple life. When he falls in love with a native girl, her guardian, who is trying to bring her up as a 'proper' Christian, but who also lusts after her himself, plots to keep them apart. Review: Ramon Novarro is quite charming in the title role of this little-known film. All of the other stars also do a superb job: Renee Adoree, Dorothy Janis, and Donald Crisp. It's amazing to me how natural and contemporary this film seems after 72 years. Novarro is funny, dramatic and quite believable in the title role. It just about breaks one's heart to realize that Renee Adoree died at the age of 35, about 3 years after the release of this film. If you enjoy her in this film, be sure to see her performance in "The Big Parade". Donald Crisp's role harkens back to his character in "Broken Blossoms", and his is the only performance in this film that teeters a little toward the melodramatic side. Viewers may also be interested to know that Novarro had attempted a legitimate singing career in opera and recitals, and it is his voice you hear in the overdubbed recording…….£7.49

 

Page of Madness, A (1926) **UPGRADE – Improved print**

Directed byTeinosuke Kinugasa and starring Masuo Inoue, Ayako Iijima, Yoshie Nakagawa and Hiroshi Nemoto, this film has a runtime of 59 mins and the print quality is very good.Tis is a Japanese silent and has Japanese intertitles with hardcoded English subtitles. This film was deemed lost for more than forty years, but it was rediscovered by its director, Teinosuke Kinugasa, in a rice cans in 1971.

Plot: A husband picks up a job as a janitor at an insane asylum scheming all the time to be close to and free his wife from the institution where she recently attempted suicide. A score was added when in 1970 the reels were unearthed after they were considered lost for decades. The director approved and subsequently repudiated this version.

Review: An old man works as a janitor in a mental hospital to be close to his wife who is a patient there and to try to get her out.
This is surely one of the most forgotten masterpieces of the silent era and an oddity in the history of Japanese cinema. Long thought lost, a print was found in the 70s and a music soundtrack added to it, which fits perfectly with the images. It might have been influenced by cabinet of doctor Caligary (director Kinugasa claimed he never saw the German film). However it surpasses it in style and in its more convincing (and chilly) portray of the inner mental state of the inmates in the asylum. To achieve this, the film makes use of every single film technique available at the time: multiple exposures and out of focus subjective point of view, tilted camera angles, fast and slow motion, expressionist lighting and superimpositions among others. It is also a very complicated film to follow, as it has not got intertitles.
The film opens with a montage of shots of rain hitting the windows of the hospital, wind shaking trees and of thunder. The unsettling weather metaphors the mental condition of the patients and introduces one of the them: a former dancer. The combination of sounds produced by rain, wind and thunder serves as the music that incites the dancer to get into a frantic, almost hypnotic dance. In another sequence involving the same patient engaged in another frenzied dance, she is being watched by other inmates. Multiple exposures of the dancer represent the patients' point of view and their confused "view" of the world.
These are just two examples from this amazing film trying to represent the patients' subconscious and view of the "sane" world.
In three words A MUST SEE. ..£7.49

Pair of Silk Stockings, A (1918)

Directed by Walter Edwards and starring Constance Talmadge, Harrison Ford, Wanda Hawley and Vera Doria, this film has a runtime of 53 mins and the print quality is good to very good.

Plot: A Pair of Silk Stockings is a 1918 American silent marital comedy film starring Constance Talmadge and Harrison Ford. It was directed by Walter Edwards and produced and distributed by Select Pictures Corporation. The film is based on a 1914 Broadway play of the same name.

Review: Cute little silent film, nothing earth-shattering, but still enjoyable for its stars, adorable Constance Talmadge and handsome Harrison Ford the First. Connie thinks hubbie Harrison has cheated on her, but it's not the case. She divorces him and all her society friends back her up, despite her lack of proof. Harrison spends the rest of the film trying to win her back, by some rather unorthodox means.
The print I saw of this film was in sepia tones, I assume with the camera being held up to the screen, with the wonderful Philip Carli accompanying on the piano. You can hear the audience laughing in the background, so they obviously enjoyed it as much as I did. …..£7.49

 

Pal O’ Mine (1924)

Directed by Edward LeSaint and starring Irene Rich, Josef Swickard, Willard Louis, Alan Roscoe and Pauline Garon, this film has a runtime of 60 mins and the print quality is very good.

Plot: Opera singer Julia Montfort (Irene Rich) returns to the stage when her husband, Verdugo Montford (Josef Swickard) loses his job...and then gives him work secretly paid for by herself. When a temperamental artist Babette Hermann (Pauline Garon) reveals the secret, Verdugo becomes disillusioned. Later, though, his faith in his wife is restored.

Review: Irene Rich is married to Albert Roscoe and gives up her burgeoning stage career. When Roscoe is fired and hospitalized, Miss Rich resumes her career, but Roscoe is not happy with his wife as the breadwinner in this decent tear-jerker that grows increasingly melodramatic as it goes along.
Miss Rich was in a lot of soap operas during the silent era, appeared as Will Rogers' wife in a couple of his early sound films. She is quite lovely in this mediocre effort from Columbia, due to an uninspired script and despite some first-class acting support from the likes of Joseph Swickard and Pauline Garon. It undoubtedly pleased the small-town audiences that the studio, Columbia, catered to initially, while studio boss Harry Cohn was fighting to get out of the Poverty Row producer category. Eventually he would succeed, in no small part to competent movies like this one….£7.49

 

Pampered Youth (1925)

Starring Cullen Landis. This is a cut down re-released version of the film with a runtime of 31 mins. The print is very scratchy but has good clarity…..£7.49

 

Pandora's Box (1929)

Starring Louise Brooks and directed by GW Pabst.

Plot: G.W. Pabst's film that catapulted Louise Brooks to international acclaim and made her 'the' icon of the Jazz Age tells the tragic story of Lulu, the hedonistic dancer and prostitute. Based on the plays of F. Wedekind.

Trivia: Countess Anna is considered by historians to be cinema's first lesbian character.....£7.49

 

Le Paradis (1914)

Directed by Gaston Leprieur and starring Jane Faber, Raoul Villot, Fernand Rivers and Mireille Barsac, this film has a runtime of 54 mins and the print quality is excellent.

Plot: Comedy. A father whose looking for a suitable candidate for his daughter ends up having a mistress and tigers prowling all around him.

Review: Naughty! boudoir comedy. A good handful of things I've seen lately have seemed to be inching toward Lubitsch territory, but this gets closer to full-scale Ernstitude than anything else I've come across. Small-town bourgeois papa takes his family to Paris to find his daughter a husband... but he also wants to find a fancy woman for himself to kick his heels up with. Is that a mixed metaphor?

"I wouldn't dream of letting my daughter marry a man who didn't already have a mistress. That's immoral!"….£7.49

 

Parisian Cobbler, The aka Parizhskiy Sapozhnik (1927) **UPGRADE**

Directed by Fridrikh Ermler and starring Veronika Buzhinskaya, Bella Chernova and Yakov Gudkin, this film has a runtime of 40 mins and is now available with English  intertitles. The print quality is good.

Review: This little known Russian movie, from the director of the following year's Oblomok imperii/ A Fragment of Empire is both surprising and accomplished.
The mute cobbler is interested in the local girl but she is already pregnant by one of the gang of sailor suit toughs. The Soviet Youth League secretary's only assistance to her is a book about sex in Russian literature and things turn nasty.
The mute is not shown as either simple or saintly, as might be expected, and the assured acting, along with the convincing detail of the riverside community, make this a more substantial piece of the Russian film history picture than expected.…..£7.49

 

Parisian Love (1925) **UPGRADE - Improved Print **

Directed by Louis J.Gasnier and Starring Clara Bow, Donal Keith, Lillian Leighton, Hazel Keener and Lou Tellegen, this film has a runtime of 61 mins and the print quality is very good to excellent.

Plot: Street people Armand and Marie are madly in love, and she persuades Armand and other gang members to rob the home of Pierre Marcel, a wealthy scientist. The police break up the robbery but Pierre hides Armand from them because he kept a gang member from stabbing him, but Armand is wounded in doing so. When Armand regains his health, Pierre takes him around town and introduces him to many women, and Armand has no objections. Marie - jealous of the women - swears revenge on Marcel. They meet and he falls in love with her, and they are married while Armand is away in London. On their wedding night, Marie tells Marcel she is an Apache and her revenge is complete, and she rushes into Armand's arms. But another Apache, in love with Marie, wounds her with a gun shot.

ReviewThieving Parisian lovers Clara Bow (as Marie) and Donald Keith (as Armand) are separated when police interrupt their attempt to rob wealthy professor Lou Tellegen (as Pierre Marcel). Posing as a street doxie, Ms. Bow manages to escape, but Mr. Keith is wounded. Luckily for the handsome Keith, Mr. Tellegen turns out to have a yen for both men and women. Tellegen recognizes Keith as a former student, puts him to bed, and caresses him back to health.
Bow wants her boyfriend back; she suspects Tellegen has ensconced him on his estate, and manages to get her self a job there, as a temporary maid. Bow discovers Tellegen's plan to mate Keith with pretty Alyce Mills (as Jeanne), and jealously leaves. Keith tries to find Bow, but fails. After regrouping, Bow begins her final plan; to win the whispered-to-be "aloof from love" Tellegen's boy and money, she will pose as a convent girl and seduce him into marriage!
"Parisian Love" is a quite unlikely, but highly amusing comedy. Bow and Keith are a great match, with the former lively in a number of guises. Bow impresses as a commanding star comedienne. Fading idol Tellegen is a real surprise, plucking his gray hairs in a memorable scene, and mixing well with the young lovers. Also keep an eye on veteran hag Lillian Leighton; she is hilarious, hogging the liquor as Bow's "snuff-smelling, absinthe-gargling" companion.....£7.49

Passenger, The aka Le Passager (1928)

Directed by Jacques de Baroncelli and starring Charles Vanel, Michèle Verly, Jean Mercanton and Nicolas Redelsperber, this film has a runtime of 69 mins and the print quality is very good. This French silent is unfortunately timecoded and it has French intertitles with English subtitles….£7.49

 

Passing Fancy (1933) aka Dekigokoro

Directed by Yasujiro Ozu and starring Takeshi Sakamoto, Nobuko Fushimi and Den Ohinata  this film has a runtime of 100 mins and the print quality is very good to excellent. It has Japanese intertitles and English subtitles.

Plot: After the death of his wife, a man struggles to raise his son in nearly overwhelming poverty. When the father meets a beautiful young woman, the son becomes jealous of his father's attentions, and conflict arises between them.

Review: Another early Ozu where family ties - severely tested but affirmed - steer the world away from havoc and into good. Another early Ozu that documents Japanese society being pushed through the wringer of Western influence, cinematically reflected with Chaplinesque beats: the father is a lazy factory worker and no good man-about-town, in stark contrast to the meek, corporate executive father in I Was Born But.., and once more the stubborn son has to live with the shame.
This go round and in comparison to the above film, the intended seduction of suburban life is less effective. The innocence of childhood is less the fulcrum of discovery of how the world works, and more a counterpoint to ordinary drama; thwarted love, strained friendship, high-minded sacrifice in the end that seduces noble, better persons out of everyone.
Everything turns out the way it does for a reason, the film whimsically asserts. Why is sea water salty? But of course for us to salt salmon with.
It is good and was awarded that year with a Kinema Jumpo beating films by future rivals Mizoguchi and Naruse. I assume it won for the denouement of selfless humanity - inspirationally miraculous and accompanied by fireworks in the sky - that must have echoed desirably at tumultuous times such as those, but there were more interesting things afoot in Japanese cinema of the time…..£7.49

Firstly projected at 20 fps with a runtime of 96 mins and secondly at 24 fps with a runtime of 80 mins. The print quality in both cases is excellent.

After completing the original cut of the film, director Carl Theodor Dreyer learned that the entire master print had been accidentally destroyed. With no ability to re-shoot, Dreyer re-edited the entire film from footage he had originally rejected.

Plot: In 1431, Jeanne d'Arc is placed on trial on charges of heresy. The ecclesiastical jurists attempt to force Jeanne to recant her claims of holy visions.

Review: The sufferings of a martyr, Jeanne D'Arc (1412-1431). Jeanne appears in court where Cauchon questions her and d'Estivet spits on her. She predicts her rescue, is taken to her cell, and judges forge evidence against her. In her cell, priests interrogate her and judges deny her the Mass. Threatened first in a torture chamber and then offered communion if she will recant, she refuses. At a cemetery, in front of a crowd, a priest and supporters urge her to recant; she does, and Cauchon announces her sentence. In her cell, she explains her change of mind and receives communion. In the courtyard at Rouen castle, she burns at the stake; the soldiers turn on the protesting crowd....£7.49

Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914)

Trivia: This was the first ever appearance, in any film, of Harold Lloyd and Hal Roach. Plot: Ojo and Unc Nunkie are out of food, so they decide to journey to the Emerald City where they will never starve. Along the way, they meet Mewel, a waif and stray (mule) who leads them to Dr. Pipt, who has been stirring the powder of life for nine years. Ojo adds plenty of brains to Margolotte's Patchwork servant before she is brought to life with the powder. When Scraps does come to life, she accidentally knocks the liquid of petrifaction upon Unc Nunkie, Margolotte, and Danx (daughter Jesseva's boyfriend). So all go on separate journeys to find the ingredients to the antidote. (Of course Jesseva has Danx shrunken to take with her, which causes trouble with Jinjur.) Of course, no one ever told Ojo that some of the ingredients were illegal to obtain... £5.99

Patria (1917)

This dvd contains the 4 surviving episodes of a 15 episode serial starring Irene Castle, Milton Sills, Warner Oland and Wallace Beery. It has an overall runtime of 69 mins and the print quality is very good.

Pavement Butterfly, The aka Großstadtschmetterling (1929)

Directed by Richard Eichberg and starring Anna May Wong, Alexander Granach, Nien Soen Ling, Elwood Fleet Bostwick and S.Z.Sakall, this film has a runtime of 98 mins and the print quality is excellent. This film was a UK/German collaboration and has German intertitles with hardcoded English subtitles. This is considered to be an example of Straßenfilm ("Street Film"), a sub-genre of films that flourished in Germany during the Weimar period.

Plot: Made at the height of Anna May Wong's fame in Europe, Pavement Butterfly was a coproduction between Germany and Britain and filmed on location in Nice, France. In this silent film, Wong plays a dancer in the French Riviera who, after her act takes a deadly turn, finds refuge in the arms of a young painter. —Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

Review: Like Josephine Baker and Louise Brooks, Anna May Wong was an American woman who had to go to Europe to find films worthy of her talent. The Pavement Butterfly, a German-British production set in Paris, is by no means a great film, but it provides a marvelous showcase for Anna May Wong, and ample evidence that she would have been one of the top stars of her era if not for the racial prejudice that limited her to "dragon lady" roles in America. Here she is absolutely stunning, going from carnival cooch-dancer to haute-couture-draped rich man's mistress, with a bohemian interlude in the garret of a starving painter. She proves herself a fine actress as well as a charismatic star, and looks throughout like the proverbial million bucks.
The film is strong on atmosphere and weak on plot. Settings include a seedy carnival complete with female boxers, the bohemian garret mentioned previously (which looks exactly like the one in Seventh Heaven), Paris nightclubs, and the French Riviera. The cinematography is stylish, with flashy montages introducing the various settings. The leading man (Louis Lerch) is a naturalistic actor and starts out likable enough before metamorphosing into a jerk; Anna May Wong's rival is a horse-faced, wealthy Daddy's girl rarely seen without at least one dead animal wrapped around her neck. S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall, looking uncharacteristically trim, appears as one of the hero's bohemian friends. The plot is driven largely by a singularly loathsome villain, who seems to be motivated by a combination of greed, frustrated lust for the heroine, and sheer monstrosity.
The story suffers not only from improbability but from gratuitous sadism towards the heroine, who suffers unjust accusations of murder and robbery. (Maybe the fact that she's named "Butterfly" should have tipped me off that her fate wouldn't be happy.) Though little reference is made to her race, it's hard not to attribute the pervasive suspicion and ill-usage of her to the fact that she is Chinese. And when she winds up alone at the end, I was reminded strongly of the Josephine Baker vehicle Zouzou, in which likewise the gorgeous heroine winds up losing her man to a bland blonde.
I was lucky enough to see The Pavement Butterfly in the Museum of the Moving Image's current Anna May Wong retrospective (paired with a Josephine Baker retrospective, in which I recently viewed Zouzou), with a large enthusiastic audience and live music. The print was flawless, and I hope this film will be released as Piccadilly recently was, since it, and especially its star, deserves to be more widely seen….£7.49

 

Peach Girl, The (1931)

Starring Dorothy Dwan. Runtime: 60 mins…..£7.49

 

Pearl Necklace, The aka Yichuan Zhenzhu (1926)

Directed by Zeyuan Li and starring Xiadian Lei, Xiandian Lei, Hangou Liu, Hanjun Liu,  Jiqun Liu and Shaomei Xing, this film has a runtime of 100 mins and the print quality is very good. This Chinese silent has both Mandarin and English intertitles.

Plot: Taken from a short story by Maupassant, the action revolves around a middle-class couple. The husband borrows a pearl necklace from a jeweller friend for his wife to wear to a party. It is much admired at the party, but she is followed home by a burglar who breaks in and steals it. The next morning, the friend needs it back. It belongs to a customer he had been repairing it for. Excuses are made and they promise to return it later. They try to borrow money from friends to buy another, but without much success. Eventually, driven to desperation, the husband steals money from where he works and buys a replacement, which is returned to the owner. The husband, however, was seen taking the money from the safe at work, and is duly fired. The couple descend into poverty, and the wife reproaches herself for her vanity which has led them into such straits. The husband finds work and things improve. His supervisor, incidentally, is the husband of the lady who gave the party where the whole story began. This supervisor is, however, being blackmailed, and when the husband finds out, he follows the supervisor and saves him during a physical attack by the blackmailer. While the supervisor is in hospital, he is visited by his saviour and his wife, and their wives, old friends, meet. The husband describes their situation and how it began with the loss of the pearl necklace. The supervisor is guilt-stricken. It turns out that he had noticed how impressed his wife (at the time he was one of her suitors) was impressed at 'that' party by the pearl necklace. He had paid a ruffian to steal it and bring it to him, so he could present it to her and win her heart. This it did, since they are now married, though he has regrettably ruined the other couple's lives in the process. He now offers help, and though his agency, the husband takes over the supervisor's job at the factory, and by selling the necklace, is able to purchase back his original house. All is back as it should be, though the wife has vowed to never let her vanity lead her astray again.

Review: The studio was evidently making the film with a western audience in mind. The story was from a western source (Maupassant) and it had a European feel. Interestingly, when a letter in Chinese is shown to the camera, it even fades into an English translation.
The actors were well chosen, and it was easy to distinguish between them (helped by cards introducing each major character).
As for scenery, there were attractive interiors of houses shown (the middle classes seemed to be doing pretty well then), a motor car or two and rickshaws. There were some interesting technical touches in it (night shots filmed in bright light, which became dark when a cigarette was being lit, or a torch was being shone), a fairly mobile camera in some places, and even a little section of stop-motion animation. The print was pretty good - not immaculate, but complete and quite watchable. No soundtrack at all though, which seems fairly standard practice for these films.
The plot is a moral fable, about the consequences of desiring beyond one's means, and is a little preachy by modern standards, but comparable to American films of the period.
Recommended.…..£7.49

 

Peasant’s Fate, A (1913)

Starring Ivan Mozzhukin. Runtime: 30 mins…..£7.49

 

Peau de Peche (1929) aka Peach Skin

Directed by Jean Benoît-Lévy and Marie Epstein and starring Denise Lorys, Maurice Touzé, Simone Marieul and Jimmy Gaillard, this film has a runtime of 89 mins and the print quality is excellent. This French silent has French intertitles and English subtitles.

Plot: An orphan from Montmartre is sent to the countryside by his foster parents. Ten years later he returns in search of a girl he once knew.

Review: Make sure to always check out the works of Marie Epstein, sister of the more famous Jean Epstein. Her films have a tendency to touch me stronger than Jean's creations. And the silent Peau de pêche [Peach Skin] (1929) is another one that's worth a look. Following a boy and his upbringing, and most importantly the females in his life, and how it effects him as he becomes a man. This has the odd feeling of being warm and woeful at the same time. Easy and touching….£7.49

 

Peck's Bad Boy (1921)

Penalty, The (1920)

Review: A master criminal pays THE PENALTY for a life full of evil. Lon Chaney became a major movie star with his role in this shocker. Already regarded as a fine actor for his performances in lesser films, he now proved he was quite willing to go far beyond mere makeup for the enhancement of his screen persona. His dedication to his craft, coupled with an outsized talent, were to make Chaney one of the foremost film actors of the 1920's. Here Chaney plays a legless mobster who plots terrible revenge upon the doctor who maimed him (his plan to sack San Francisco of its wealth is almost incidental.) In order to create the illusion of being a paraplegic, Chaney bound his legs back and encased them in stumps. He is able to hop about with great alacrity using crutches, but he suffered intense pain during the filming and could only abide the prosthetics for short periods of time. As remarkable as what he's able to achieve on his knees might be, it is the face of Chaney which is equally memorable here. The fact that he's able to model for a bust of Satan as part of the plot is no accident. His features take on the visage of pure unadulterated evil. The blood chills to look at him. Chaney the Actor has wordlessly spoken. The film itself is a pleasantly florid potboiler, with plenty of menace, mayhem and damsels in distress. But it is Chaney who lingers longest in memory's darkest recess.….£7.49

 

Penrod And Sam (1923)

Directed by William Beaudine and starring Ben Alexander, Joe Butterworth, Rockliffe Fellowes, Gladys Brockwell and Mary Philbin, this film has a runtime of 83 mins and the print quality is excellent.

Plot: Penrod and his gang don't want to let neighborhood "goodie-goodie" Georgie Bassett into their club, but Penrod's father pressures him to allow the boy in, because Georgie's parents are wealthy and prominent members of the town. Finally the boys agree to let Georgie join, but first they demand that he undergo an "initiation", and they're determined to make it one that Georgie won't soon forget.

Review: The child actors in this film are all perfect, with Ben Alexander (later of DRAGNET) as Penrod. Buddy Messenger plays the mean bully Rodney Bitts, and his sister Gertrude plays the only girl that is friends with the kids. Except for their tattered clothing which shows that the two African-American kids are poorer than the others, the two black kids are presented as just regular kids and are not stereotyped at all. Rockliffe Fellowes and Gladys Brockwell were stars in the teens. Here they play two loving parents who don't always understand Penrod. Mary Philbin has a small part as Penrod's sister, and Gareth Hughes is her embarrassed boyfriend. Both would go on to much bigger roles. Cameo the dog is an important character in this film, and she has the most heart-breaking scene. (She would repeat her role in the remake.)
Penrod and Sam are two best friends who have their own clubhouse on the vacant lot next to Penrod's house. They get into all kinds of trouble getting back at the local bully Rodney Bitts (Buddy Messinger). They also tease prissy Georgie Bassett (Newton Hall) because his mother dresses him in coordinating outfits and because Georgie doesn't like to get dirty. Rodney's mean father insists that his son be let into the gang, while Georgie's mother pleads that he be let in also. The kids create an awful initiation for Georgie, but the parents stop it before he is treated too badly. (And note that after this Georgie does become a member of the gang.)
The bully Rodney won't be nice to anybody in the gang and cannot be accepted into it. His rich father (William V. Mong) buys the lot next door from Penrod's father. Penrod realizes that Buddy and his father have taken his dog and his clubhouse from him. He and his friends must act to reclaim their clubhouse and their fun. While there are sentimental scenes in the film, there is plenty of comedy and the film holds up perfectly nearly a hundred years later….£7.49

 

People On Sunday (1929)

Directed by four directors at the beginning of their careers: Curt Siodmak, Robert Siodmak, Edgar G.Ulmer and Fred Zinneman! Billy Wilder is also amongst the credited writers! Review: Some of the people commenting on this movies mention the fact that it was made only three years before Hitler came to power. While this is true, it is a historical misunderstanding to think that in 1929, when the film was conceived and shot, Hitler was inevitably looming at the political horizon in Germany. In fact, in the Weimar republic of the late 20s there was good reason to believe, that the worst was over for Germany after the chaotic post-WWI-period. The economy had somewhat stabilized, the political circumstances were still chaotic, but I guess people had grown accustomed to the fact that the government changed every so often. Germany was not a democracy in the truest sense of the word, but there was a thriving lower-middle class, and that is what the people in the film are meant to represent. There was good reason to believe, that these people would be typical of Germany at this time. To think that the film makers were delusional about the true state of the German state is a judgement that comes out of knowing what happened later. That’s what makes this film even more special in my thinking. It shows that there could have been potentially another Germany, and that fascism was not the inevitable consequence of the social condition in the early 30s, German national character or what so ever. In fact, I think thats why this master piece is not as well-known as it deserves to be. It does not fit the bill of 1920s Mabuse-style Germany, where Caligari was an early warning of the Nosferatu was the blue-print of a coming dictator etc, all this Kracauer stuff. Having said that, I would like to point out two additional things about this film, that make it unique. First of all, with its on-location shot, its amateur actors and its next-to-nothing ,yet social realist story, it is a rare fore-runner of the post-war cinema of Italy etc, that has not acknowledged. (Then again, Rosselini et al never saw this film, but then again, where is the "neo" in "neo-realism" coming from.) It also seems to me that this might very likely be the first "indie" movie. "Indie" is of course a very vague term, and what is called "Independent cinema" differs greatly depending on where the critic is coming from. But I personally know of no other movie, that actually made it into the movie houses, that was produced by a handful of non-pros without the support of a studio. Of course, there are the surrealist films etc, but this was a reasonably successful film, not some art experiment. This is a very daring thesis, I know, but so far nobody was able to prove me wrong.....£7.49

 

Perfect Clown, The (1925)

Starring Larry Semon and with Oliver Hardy in a small role. Plot: A clerk is given $10,000 to deposit at the bank, but the bank is closed for the night so he tries to get to the bank president's house with the money. Review: This is actually quite a funny film, Larry Semon somehow gets through the night with his $10,000 in tact in spite of amusing adventures along the way……£7.49

 

Perils of Pauline, The (1914)

Starring Pearl White.

This is the legendary serial. Although the original 20 episode version no longer exists we fortunately have the 9 episode version that was released in Europe.

Review: The Perils of Pauline is the most famous of the silent movie serials, which were a phenomenon on the teens and early 20s. Pearl White was the superstar of this genre (Ruth Roland and Marion Davies also starred in famous serials) and is the star of The Perils of Pauline. Loosely plotted with little connecting tissue between episodes, the serials usually featured heroines in all kinds of dangers but always saved in the nick of time. 30s serials mostly featured men in adventurous outings. The "cliff hanger" ending was developed in serials as a way of drawing audiences back to watch the next episode.
The Perils of Pauline was originally a 20-episode serial but only the 9-episode European release survives. It opens with the death of Pauline's uncle and takeover by his "trusted" secretary as Pauline's guardian until she marries. Pauline's boy friend (Crane Wilbur) is a loyal but dumb sort of guy. The guardian (Paul Panzer) is constantly trying to knock off Pauline so he can inherit all the family fortune. So in each episode Pauline gets into trouble as the guardian and his henchman (Francis Carlyle) try to kill her. The plotting is crude and the escapes are unrealistic but it's all in good fun. And audiences loved seeing Pearl White doing all kinds of dangerous stunts.  In this series she is bound and gagged several times, kidnapped several times by cowboys, pirates, gypsies, wild Indians, etc. and left for dead in a number of caves, burning houses, sinking ships, and subterranean cellars, and of course tied to railroad tracks! Pauline is imperiled in speeding cars, runaway balloons, runaway horses, and left dangling on cliffs, and fighting off hordes of rats. My favorite is the Indian immortality test in which they shove her down a steep mountain slope to give her a running start and then shove a massive round boulder down the slope after her-a stunt basically repeated in the opening of the first Indiana Jones movie. Pearl White is pretty and does well as the archetypical heroine. She's also very good in the action scenes whether dangling from a rope or cliff's edge or being carried off by desperados. Crane Wilbur and Paul Panzer overact but it's fun. Milton Berle made his first film appearance in this serial (and also in Tillie's Punctured Romance) in 1914!….£7.49

 

Perils of the Rail (1926)

Starring Helen Holmes.

This was Helen Holmes genre, railway films usually involving daredevil stunts, fans of this type of silent movie will not be disappointed…..£7.49

 

Peter Pan (1924)

Wonderful live action silent version starring Betty Bronson.

Plot: Peter Pan, the kid who doesn't want to grow up, arrives at the Darling home searching for his shadow. He meets the Darling children and takes them to Never-Never Land, where they will fight against Capt. Hook and his pirate ship and crew. At the end the children will be back in their warm beds. Review: PETER PAN is filled with magical touches that never seem to go too far or become foolish. Peter's heart to heart talk with the crocodile when they conspire to "get" Captain Hook was one of my favorites, as were the mermaids on the beach. The only point that has ever bothered me is at the end when Peter actually stabs and kills two of the pirates. Somehow I thought this was out of place and brought too much realism to a light hearted fairy tale. But this is very minor nit-picking of an otherwise flawless silent film....£7.49

 

Phantom, The (1922) **UPGRADE – Improved Print**

Directed by FW Murnau and starring Lil Dagover, Alfred Abel, Lya De Putti, Olga Engel and Frida Richard, this film has a runtime of 120 mins and the print quality is very good to excellent. This is a German silent film, but has English intertitles.

Plot: A shiftless young man becomes obsessed with a mysterious woman and yearns to find her again.

Review: A much underestimated movie. I've seen several of Murnau's flicks, and while I am the generally a big fan of his work, this one is actually one of my favorites. In a dreamlike manner it tells a story of main character's obsession with a manipulative and cruel woman. His love and desire makes him lose his senses - to a point where object of his passion becomes like a haunting spectre, a phantom. In some way Phantom is a forecast of another german picture, the famous Blaue Engel. Although the plot in one way or another has become a Hollywood cliche over the years, the movie is dark, strange and compelling. Murnau's depiction of insanity, especially in the final scenes is by itself a milestone of cinema….£7.49

 

The Phantom Carriage aka Korkarlen (1920) **UPGRADE – Longer Improved Print**

Directed by Victor Sjöström and based on the novel by Selma Lagerlof, this Swedish silent drama stars Victor Sjöström, Hilda Borgström, Tore Svennberg and Astrid Holm. It has a runtime of 108 mins and the print quality is excellent. It has Swedish intertitles with English subtitles.

Plot: Swedish silent directed by and starring Victor Sjostrom before he went to Hollywood. It's New Year's Eve. Three drunkards evoke a legend. This legends says that the last dead of the year, if he is a great sinner, will have to drive during the whole year the Phantom Chariot, the one that picks up the souls of  the dead..David Holm, one of the three drunkards, dies at last stoke of midnight...

Review: One of the best silent dramas I've seen. As dark and shadowy as anything the German Expressionists produced, but featuring performances that were quite understated and naturalistic for the day. No camera mugging and no unintentional laughs due to wild-eyed arm-waving histrionics. Sjostrom gave a convincing performance as the drunken, mean-spirited and frightening David Holm....£7.49

 

Phantom Flyer, The (1928)

Silent western.

Review: A modern range war -- modern for 1928 -- complete with oil derricks in the backyard, horsemen being pursued by motorcyclists, and there's stunt flyer Al Wilson to save the day. This fairly typical late-silent western is enlivened by some good production values, nice stunt work, good photography and one or two jokes that still work. Definitely worth your while…..£7.49

 

Phantom Honeymoon, The (1919)

Directed by J.Searle Dawley and starring Marguerite Marsh, Vernon Steele and Henry Guy Carleton, this film has a runtime of 62 mins and the print quality is good.

Review: Leon Dadmun is touring Europe with his nieces. He is a ghost debunker, but when Harry Guy Carleton sits him down in a haunted castle and tells him a story of a young couple, he may be forced to change his mind.
J. Searle Dawley was the first man to call himself a movie director (although others, such as Alice Guy, had done the work before) and he flourished from 1906 for a couple of decades. In this story, which takes advantage of the craze for spiritualism that arose in the aftermath of the First World War, he has produced a movie that is simultaneously creepy and heartening -- a precursor of such works as THE CAT AND THE CANARY and HAUNTED HONEYMOON….£7.49
 

Phantom of the Forest, The (1926)

Starring Thunder the dog.

Review: With the success of Rin-Tin-Tin over at Warner Brothers, a bunch of other producers tried to get into the Dog Star act: after all, when your lead actor will work for Kibble, how much do you need to pay the others? While this is a reasonably entertaining example of the genre -- Thunder the Dog falls out of the truck on his way to his new owner and becomes King of the Forest, until he is united with .... well, it doesn't matter too much -- the primary interest for me is the excellent Ray June photography of this movie, particularly the long shots of the forest, which are quite lovely. Also of interest is the way he irises down several two-shots among the two-legged actors, using a combination of masking, fish-eyed lens and foliage. If this one is worth looking at, it is because of June's camera-work…..£7.49

 

Phantom of the Moulin Rouge, The (1925)

Directed by Rene Clair……£7.49

 

Phantom of the Opera, The (1925)

Starring Lon Chaney.

Plot: At the Opera of Paris, a mysterious phantom threatens a famous lyric singer, Carlotta and thus forces her to give up her role (Marguerite in Faust) for unknown Christine Daae. Christine meets this phantom (a masked man) in the catacombs, where he lives. What's his goal ? What's his secret ?

Review: After all these years, the Lon Chaney silent version of "The Phantom of the Opera" is still a terrific movie that adds great visuals and details to the classic story. Without any of the advantages of later eras, it creates a vivid and remarkable world for the mysterious 'phantom' to live in. Chaney himself makes a great phantom, giving a memorable interpretation to his character's appearance and personality. The settings perfectly match both the phantom and the story, and many of the distinctive sights remain with you after it is over. A lot of creativity and attention to detail must have gone into them, and scenes such as the Technicolor Bal Masque sequence had to have taken a lot of extra work, but it certainly pays off. Several of the scenes are particularly memorable in combining vivid settings with suspenseful events. The many later versions of the story may have the advantage of modern techniques and resources, but no version shows more of an appreciation for the story's potential than the Chaney version does. Whether you like silent movies or horror movies or both, make sure to see this one…..£3.99

Piccadilly (1929) **UPGRADE – Improved longer restored print**

Directed by Ewald Andre Dupont and starring Anna May Wong, Gilda Gray and Jameson Thomas, this beautifully restored British silent has a runtime of 109 mins and the print quality is excellent.

Plot: The star attraction of the Piccadilly Club is the dancing team of Mabel and Vic. Victor is infatuated with Mabel, but she rejects his advances, since she is in love with Valentine Wilmot, the club's owner. One night, as Mabel and Vic perform their act, there is a disruption caused by a customer who is unhappy about a dirty plate. When Wilmot goes back to the kitchen to investigate, he finds several employees in the scullery watching Shosho, one of the dishwashers, dancing on a table. That night, Wilmot fires both Shosho and Victor. But the club's sagging fortunes soon lead him to re-evaluate Shosho's talent.

ReviewWith a very interesting blend of elements including a convincing Jazz Age setting, effective expressionist-style photography, and a tight story filled with human passion, "Piccadilly" would make for interesting viewing in itself. But it is Anna May Wong's dazzling performance that stands out, even above everything else in the movie.
Set in the "Piccadilly" night club, the story ostensibly stars Jameson Thomas as the club owner, and Gilda Gray as one of the club's star dancers. But it's Wong's character who drives most of the story, and indeed, as soon as Wong comes on screen, it quickly becomes hard to pay much attention to the other characters, except insofar as they interact with her and her plans. The rest of the cast is solid, and there's nothing to criticize about their performances, but they cannot compete with Wong.
What makes Wong's performance so stunning is not only her obvious allure, but also the way in which she plays the role. She communicates a great deal about her character's thoughts and feelings by the most economical and well-chosen of gestures and movements, and by so doing she makes her dominance over the other characters quite convincing. Her little smirks can be devastating, and her subtle encouragements can be nearly overwhelming.
The story is told with good style, making very effective use of lighting and settings to complement the fluid cinematography. The opening sequence is well-conceived, both in pulling the viewer into the world of the characters, and in setting up the story. This part also includes a brief appearance by Charles Laughton in an amusing role.
From there, things build up steadily to a melodramatic, twist-filled final 10 minutes or so. The climactic series of events is made more effective by the careful build-up, and by the way that Wong has made Shosho such a vivid and believable character, one who is more than capable of creating strong feelings in the other characters. It all makes "Piccadilly" well worth seeing.... £7.49

Pink Tights (1920) **UPGRADE – Now with English intertitles**

Directed by B.Reeves Eason and starring Gladys Walton, Jack Perrin, Dave Winter and Stanton Heck, this film has a runtime of 48 mins and the print quality is OK.

Plot: When a circus troupe comes to a small, extremely conservative New England town, the residents go to their minister to have him protest the scandalous fact that the female tightrope walker wears a pair of pink tights. When she has an accident and is forced to recuperate at the minister's house, he has to hide her in order to avoid even more of a scandal. Mazie Darton, a high-wire performer with a traveling circus, longs for a peaceful country life. Forced to stay in a small town while laid up with an injury, Darton is spurned by the conservative townspeople. Rev. Jonathon Meek, the local parson, befriends the circus troupe, especially Darton. But he, too, opens himself to criticism from his flock, who protest his closeness with the show people. Eventually, Darton's boyfriend arrives and the pair become closer. The parson fades from the scene as a possible mate for Darton, who ends up winning the hearts of the townspeople.

Review: Mazie Darton (Gladys Walton), a high-wire performer with a traveling circus, longs for a peaceful country life, in Reeves Eason's drama, Pink Tights (1920). Forced to stay in a small town while laid up with an injury, Darton is spurned by the conservative townspeople. Rev. Jonathon Meek (Jack Perrin), the local parson, befriends the circus troupe, especially Darton. But he, too, opens himself to criticism from his flock, who protest his closeness with the show people. Eventually, Darton's boyfriend arrives and the pair become closer. The parson fades from the scene as a possible mate for Darton, who ends up winning the hearts of the townspeople.
Pink Tights was made while Irving Thalberg was there; originally he wanted to cast an unknown actress named Norma Shearer in the role of Mazie. She didn't get the part, but years later she became a star under Thalberg when they were both working for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She also became his wife. Walton would remain a minor Universal star for her short lived career and star in several circus dramas.…..£7.49

 

Pinocchio (1911)

Directed by Giulio Antamoro and starring Polidor, Augusto Mastripietri, Natalino Guillaume and Lea Giunchi, this film has a runtime of 54 mins and the print quality is very good. This Italian silent film has Italian intertitles and English subtitles. This is the very first film adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s novel, ‘The Adventures of Pinocchio’. For many years it was believed that only about six minutes of this film existed. However in 2018 the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana found a near complete nitrate negative from which it restored the film including the original tinting.

Plot: The old carpenter Geppeto manufactures in his workshop a wooden puppet that will soon come alive. For an hour the doll will live a thousand and one adventures: he will be judged, hanged, swallowed by a whale, taken prisoner by the Indians, saved by Canadian soldiers and, even, returned home mounted on a cannonball that flies through the sky….£7.49

 

Pioneer’s Gold (1924)

Starring Pete Morrison, Kathryn McGuire, Spottiswoode Aitken and Louise Emmons.

Plot: An old pioneer wants his brother's children whom he has never met to inherit his wealth, but a villain substitutes ringers for them.

Review: No question about it--like Black director Oscar Micheaux (and others such as, say, Louis Gasnier and Charles Hutchison), Victor Adamson was a much better silent director than sound director. Films such as this one and the much different OLD OREGON TRAIL are quite interesting and thoughtful for z-grade genre product. First of all, PIONEER'S GOLD has a large and interesting cast of characters. Spottiswoode Aitken, looking like a long-haired 80 year old John Kerry after a long weekend, is an old man who is isolated and lonely and thinks of the woman he loved long ago. He finds her daughter, a schoolmarm (or "school ma'am" as the titles call her), and offers her an inheritance if she marries his nephew (the son of his long lost brother) whom he hasn't seen for many years. A crook named "The Fox" who steals mail shipments, steals the letter to the nephew offering him this deal, and then poses as the nephew...and then the schoolmarm is kidnapped by a woman crook (who is part of a wild psychotic hillbilly family that could have been out of the pages of a Flannery O'Connor story--Merrill McCormick, always colorful as a bad guy, plays a grotesque member of this family who reminds me of Brad Dourif at his most off-the-wall in some weird indie horror film), who then poses as her! Leading man Pete Morrison I'm most familiar with through his later supporting roles. I'd describe him as a mix between pre-1931 Rex Lease with a twist of pre-1933 Lyle Talbot. He's an interesting looking man and I hope to see some more of his starring roles (any b-western fan has seen him in early sound westerns in supporting roles). His riding skills are superb and he has a natural screen presence and is good at projecting any number of moods. Running at about 62 minutes, PIONEER'S GOLD is a much better film than it needed to be as a piece of low-budget-western product, and has a complexity to it and a rich array of supporting characters. Bravo to Victor Adamson. How could this be the same man who made THE ADVENTURES OF Texas JACK or THE RAWHIDE TERROR???......£7.49

 

Pioneers of the West (1927)

Plot: Caught by the Piutes, pony Express Rider Dick Carter falls in love with pretty Dorothy Earle, who belongs to that seemingly endless supply of white girls kidnapped in childhood and raised by Indians. Unfortunately, Dorothy is promised to Bud Osborne, described in a title as "a renegade white who dominates the simple minds of the savage horde." Does Dorothy succeed in taking her own life rather than face an uncertain future with evil Bud? Or does the stalwart Dick rescue her in time?

Review: Who, you may be asking yourself, is Dick Carter? Truth be told, no one really knows but he may in fact be one William Mix, the producer of this little silent western. But who, pray tell, is William Mix? "Pioneers of the West" was directed by Marcel Perez, a Frenchman and a former slapstick comedy star, and penned by Mrs. Perez, one Dorothy Earle. It is not bad as far as low-budget silent westerns go, and although neither Mr. Carter nor Miss Earle seems to have possessed much in the way of acting ability, they are rescued at the finishing line by that big-nosed prairie femme fatale Gene Crosby and the ever-popular Bud Osborne…..£7.49

 

Pirates of the Plains (1914)

Plague in Florence, The aka Pest in Florenz, Die (1919)

Directed by Otto Rippert and starring Theodor Becker and Julietta Brandt, this film has a rumtime of 103 mins and the print quality is excellent. The film has German intertitles with English subtitles.

Plot: Suddenly appearing in Florence, an evil seductress causes Cesare, the city's ruler, and his son to both fall madly in love with her. The son, killing his father before an order to torture the woman can be carried out, then turns the city's churches into dens of sexual debauchery. Acts of evil and corruption continue unabated until the arrival of Death, who brings with her a horrible plague which she is about to loose upon the city.

Review: Die Pest in Florenz (aka The Plague in Florence) (1919) is an early adaptation of Edgar Alan Poe's Masque of the Red Death made all the more intriguing by a script from Fritz Lang that foreshadows many of his later, more famous motifs. Telling the tale of a rich temptress who enters Florence and immediately starts corrupting its piety and peasants, she casts her bewitching spell of lust and revelry on the leaders of the city, not to mention the local hermit monk. After the church leaves town the place literally goes to hell (where Lang gets his first crack at a dragon), ultimately becoming the target of a vengeful black death to settle the score for the papists back in the Vatican.….£7.49

 

Place Beyond The Winds (1916)

Directed by Joseph de Grasse and starring Dorothy Phillips, Jack Mulhall, Lon Chaney and Joseph de Grasse, this film has a runtime of 39 mins and the print quality is good to very good. The whole of the film does not survive, the first reel is missing.

Plot: Priscilla Glenn is a product of the woods, a wild, impulsive, nature-loving child. Her father is her antithesis, seeing none of the beauties of nature, thinking women only creatures to be browbeaten. Between her mother and herself there existed a strong bond of love and understanding, understanding that they were companions in the same misery and unhappiness. Priscilla had to fight for an education. At last, through the efforts of Anton Farwell, the schoolmaster, Priscilla had the opportunity of beginning her education. For a rest there came to the spot Mrs. Travers and her crippled boy, Dick, and later a specialist, Dr. Leydward, who was to eventually straighten the crooked limbs of the boy. Priscilla and Dick met and a romance between the two was begun. Jerry Jo, a half-breed, coveted the girl, and lured her to a house on the hill where there was a library. Although the girl was as sweet and pure when she returned home the next day her father sent her from his roof. Priscilla went to her only friend, Anton Farwell, and together they started for a new country. For Farwell was hiding from the world. In the long ago he had loved Joan Moss, and for the love of her killed the brother of Dr. Leydward. Before Priscilla and Farwell had gone far he received word that he must choose the alternative of living buried in the woods or in prison. So Priscilla went on to find her way alone in the big city with the mission to look for Joan. Priscilla devoted her life to the care of the sick, and so once more she and Dick Travers met, and worked hand in hand for suffering humanity. It was thus that she knew Dr. Leydward and his daughter, Margaret, who was to wed Clyde Hunter. One day as Priscilla was strolling in the park she saw Jerry Jo, now a nondescript beggar. Towards him she bore no malice, but a strong desire to make life happier. On following Jerry Jo to the tenement room he called home, some of the inmates mistook her for an angel of mercy for a dying woman, who was none other than Joan. From her lips she learned that the crippled child belonged to the affianced of Margaret Leydward, and also secured Farwell's exoneration. She showed Leydward and Margaret the true type of the man the latter was about to marry. Then she wandered back to the "place beyond the wind" to find comfort and peace. She found that her mother had died and her father had been stricken blind and still refused to own her as his own flesh and blood, and a second time sent her from his home. And then, crushed and wounded, she again found solace in her old friend, Anton Farwell, who a short time previous had returned to his home. To Farwell she told of the finding of Joan, but left with him his ideal of her, of her trueness and worth of trust. Priscilla returned once more to her little sanctuary in the woods, where she had erected her own altar to her own God, and where, too, she first met Dick. And there he found her. For realizing his love for her, he had followed her to the "place beyond the wind" and for a second time, with his old violin he started a new spark in the life of tho one woman, the one whom he would cherish and love and protect as long as time went on. —Moving Picture World….£7.49

Plot: Hugh Carver is an athletic star and a freshman at Prescott College. He falls in love with Cynthia Day, a popular girl who loves to go to parties.

Pleasure Garden, The (1925) **UPGRADE – Improved print**

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Virginia Valli, Carmelita Geraghty, Miles Mander and John Stuart, this film has a runtime of 61 mins and the print quality is very good.

Plot: Patsy Brand is a chorus girl at the Pleasure Garden music hall. She meets Jill Cheyne who is down on her luck and gets her a job as a dancer. Jill is engaged to adventurer Hugh Fielding and she introduces Patsy to his colleague, Levitt, and they fall in love. Two different fates await the two couples.

Review: The Pleasure Garden is the first film that Alfred Hitchcock directed to completion. It's a nice look into the earliest directorial thoughts and techniques of the master. Even in this earliest film, we can see signs of what would become some of his signature trademarks. I enjoyed some of the point of view shots early in the film with the blurred view of the man looking through his monocle as well as the gentleman looking through the binoculars at the show girls legs. There is also a spiral staircase in the opening of this movie. Not that it was used like the staircase in Vertigo, but it made me smile thinking of how important that would be in his later film. The story deals with the idea of infidelity. Jill (Carmelita Geraghty) is an aspiring dancer who gets engaged to Hugh (John Stuart) who has to leave for work overseas. Patsy (Virginia Valli), who has helped Jill get her start, starts to worry about Jill keeping her promise to wait for Hugh. Jill's career is taking off and she begins to fool around with other guys. Patsy marries Levett (Miles Mander), Hugh's friend who also goes overseas to work with Hugh. Unlike Jill, Patsy remains true to her husband, thinking only of being with him. She receives a letter that her husband has taken ill and scrapes up the money to go be with her husband in his time of need. When she arrives, she finds that he has taken to drinking and island women. That's when the trouble ensues. I enjoyed Hitch's first film. It's a little slow starting, but picks up pace as it goes along. I liked seeing Cuddles, the dog, thrown in for a little comic relief to contrast the seriousness of the film, which of course is another of Hitchcock's trademarks. There was also a nice, subtle score by Lee Erwin, that fit the film well…..£7.49

Pony Express, The (1925)

Starring Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrence, Wallace Beery, George Bancroft and directed by James Cruze.

Review: Cruze attempted to follow up the success of THE COVERED WAGON with this rousing story of the founding of the Pony Express in the early days of the Civil War. Plenty of talent is entertainingly displayed, from Wallace Beery as "Rhode Island Red" (puh-leeze!) at his coyest and the ever-delightful Betty Compson to excellent camera-work by Karl Brown. But a script devoted more to fanciful attempts by the Knights of the Golden Circle -- a sort of Ur-Ku Klux Klan -- to lynch their way to power, random road agents and the assertion that a running man with a revolver can shoot down three stationary men with rifles makes hash of the entire show. Still, if you enjoy the sort of piffle that suffused the western for many years, you will enjoy this Cecil B. Demille sort of western And if you can find a clean copy of this work it is a delight to the eyes…..£7.49

Her father is concerned only with making money, and her mother cares only about her social position. But one day a servant's irresponsibility creates a crisis that causes everyone to rethink what is important to them.

Review: The most original aspect of this film is that it translates into images the delirium of a seriously ill little girl fighting for her life. The beginning of the film is quite conventional both as regards the story, a little girl is ignored by her rich parents and bullied by the servants, and the way of filming, mostly indoor long duration wide shots with fixed camera, with some medium shots and a few close-ups. There are some slapstick gags and a funny scene when the father, remembering that, as a child, he had been dressed as a girl to punish him, decides to dress Gwen as a boy. Far from considering this as a punishment, she enjoys her boy costume and has a lot of fun having a mud fight with street boys.
The film becomes more interesting in the second half when it veers towards surrealism. It shows what Gwen is imagining, taking literally expressions that she hears, e.g. her father fighting bears, and the servants looking like their nicknames, snake in grass, double-face or big ears. It also shows the father, who has big financial worries, visualising his double taking a gun to commit suicide, with Gwen overlooking the scene....£7.49

Plot: Mildred Gower (Alma Rubens), in order to sane her extravagant mother,Mrs. Elton Gower (Eugenie Besserer), from bankruptcy, shame and scandal, the young society girl is forced to accept the proposal Lemuel Sidall (William Welsh), a wealthy man she loathes.

Review: Watched this through the Columbia Classics bonus disc as I imagine most of you who stumble on this will, that version was 61 minutes long and not 55 as listed here. 
This film felt like the kind of silent film you’d see within another movie. Has all the trappings you’d expect without ever really going outside the box or advancing the art form. The art on the intertitles is absolutely gorgeous though especially when used to change scenes. Some really nice tinting as well to differentiate the areas and times of day. Really loved the single close up and a few of the more ambitious shots but otherwise they’re just good. Alma also has some absolutely insane range with her eyes and the emotion she’s able to convey within her face is very cool to behold. 
A victim of being seen by someone with the subsequent century of the art form at his disposal and I’d probably be a bit kinder had I been born in 1899 instead of 1999. 
Beyond grateful this was restored and I got to see it in 4K picture….£7.49

Primitive Lover, The (1922)

Starring Constance Talmadge, Harrison Ford and Kenneth Harlan.

Plot: A free-spirited girl is caught between her love for her husband and her attraction to a handsome adventurer.

Review: Talmadge stars as a young woman who reads romance novels and thinks her marriage dull. Film starts with a fake "castaways" scene as the hero sacrifices himself so the married couple can have enough food and water. Talmadge compares this tripe to her dull husband (Harrison Ford) and moons over the romance author who is believed to be dead in the jungle. Of course that was a publicity hoax, so Talmadge decides to get a quickie divorce and marry the author (Kenneth Harlan). The sap husband decides that if the wife want a "primitive lover," then he'll show her. He kidnaps the couple in Reno and takes them into the mountain wilderness where he shows up the preening author as a phony. Of course Ford has a local Indian helping him hunt and make fires and such. Sort of an early Romancing the Stone, The Primitive Lover is fun and shows why Talmadge was a superstar of her time. Ford also comes off well as the loving husband. Joe Roberts is funny as the big trail boss who uses Talmadge's pancakes as a bullet-proof vest, and Snitz Edwards is in the courtroom scene as the husband. Good fun with nice organ score….£7.49

 

Primrose Path, The (1925)

Starring Clara Bow. Review:

Review: This film is a legitimate rarity, almost never seen at film fairs and certainly never on television. So here we blow off the dust on this 1925 silent gem, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy it. The Primrose Path starred Clara Bow, the Brooklyn Bonfire, whose bobbed hair, cupids bow lips and trademarked wink came to symbolise the free-spirited jazz era of the '20s. The plot involves spoilt rich boy Wallace MacDonald getting involved in gambling and murder with Clara as his loyal dancing friend, but the fascination is in Clara herself rather than the throwaway story. It has its moments: when Clara sees the male of her choice, she narrows her eyes, puckers her brow, and sets of into action with a determined exclamation of "Hot Socks!"....£7.49

 

Prince and the Dancer, The aka Éducation de prince (1927)

Directed by Henri Diamant-Berger and starring Pierre Batcheff, Edna Purviance, Flora le Breton, Pauline Carton and Albert Préjean, this film has a runtime of 91 mins and the print quality is very good to excellent. This is a French silent film and has French intertitles with hardcoded English subtitles.

I’m not sure how Edna Purviance came to appear in this film but it certainly adds a layer of interest to it seeing her in a non comedy role (Yes, I know she made “A Woman of Paris” too)…£7.49

 

Prince And The Pauper aka Prinz und Bettelknabe (1920)

Directed by Alexander Korda and starring Tibor Lubinszky the film has a runtime of 61 mins and the tinted print is of good to very good quality.

Plot: Alexander Korda's early German adaptation of Mark Twain's historical fiction novel about two young boys who are born on the same day and identical in appearance but of very different origin: Edward the Prince of Wales son of Henry VIII and Tom Canty the son of an lowly pauper….£7.49

 

Prince of Pep, The (1925)

Starring Richard Talmadge and Nola Luxford this is an abridged version of a longer feature film but sadly this may be all that survives. It has a runtime of 29 mins and the print quality is decent.

Plot: Dr. James Leland is a wealthy physician engaged to nurse Marion Nord. Working late at the hospital, he catches his assistant, Hugh Powell, stealing a supply of cocaine. The thief knocks James unconscious and dumps his body in the river. The doctor survives, but is stricken with amnesia. He takes on the identity of 'The Black X', a masked vigilante who comes to aid of the poor and suffering. His altruistic activities bring him to the attention of Powell, who has become a drug lord. Learning his old boss is really the Black X, Powell kidnaps Marion to draw him out of hiding. With the helpless girl dangling from the Empire State Building, the masked man races to save her before it's too late...even if he can't remember who she is! ….£7.49

 

Prisoner of Zenda, The (1922)

Starring Lewis Stone, Alice Terry, Robert Edeson and Ramon Novarro.

Review: Rudolf V, the King of Ruritania, has been kidnapped by Black Michael, his evil half-brother, and locked in the dungeon of the fortress of Zenda on the eve of his coronation. By a wild twist of fate, it falls upon a look alike distant cousin, the Englishman Rassendyll, to impersonate the king and effect his rescue before either one or both of them are killed by Black Michael or his henchman, Rupert of Hentzau. With two beautiful women complicating matters, and danger lurking at every turn, how can THE PRISONER OF ZENDA possibly be saved? It is unfortunate that this fine silent film is completely overshadowed by its 1937 talkie remake starring Ronald Colman. It is also unfair. Silent films & talkies are two different art forms and should not be put into competition against each other. Each art form is perfect in its own way. And so it is with the 1922 PRISONER OF ZENDA. Excitingly produced, with excellent production values & good acting, this movie stands on its own merits and on its own feet. Those familiar with Lewis Stone only as a fine character actor during his talkie career at MGM may be surprised to see him here as a romantic lead, and in a swashbuckler no less. But he is very good in his dual roles of Rudolf & Rassendyll. Strangely, at times he closely resembles Colman, but this is a coincidence no one could anticipate. This was also the breakout picture for Ramon Novarro. Born to a large wealthy family in Mexico, he had arrived in California as a 15-year old looking to become a singer. That led him into dancing & finally to acting and the movies. Working incredibly hard for years, and largely supporting his family (driven North by Revolution) he finally caught the eye of director Rex Ingram. In ZENDA, the 22-year old Novarro plays rascally Rupert, who, with his little beard & moustache & face wreathed in constant cigarette smoke, looks quite sardonic. He does very well with the unsympathetic character. Playing a mid-European, Novarro begins a career which would have him acting every sort of ethnic role, from Hebrew, to Polynesian, to Chinese. The rest of the cast all lend able support: Stuart Holmes as the wicked Black Michael; Alice Terry as the beautiful Princess Flavia; Barbara La Marr as the lovely Antoinette de Mauban, desperately in love with Michael; and Robert Edeson & Malcolm McGregor as two staunchly loyal officers of the king. Little comedian Snitz Edwards has a small role as a funny butler……£7.49

 

Prostitute (1927)

Oleg Froelich. Good print. Runtime: 77 mins…..£7.49

 

Proud Flesh (1925) **UPGRADE – slightly improved print**

Directed by King Vidor and starring Eleanor Boardman, Pat O’Malley, Harrison Ford and Priscilla Bonner, this film has a runtime of 69 mins and the print quality is OK. Joan Crawford also makes an appearance in an early uncredited role.

Plot: An aristocrat who was raised in Spain returns to the United States and falls in love with a plumber.

Review: Eleanor Boardman is a native San Franciscan, but she left as a toddler to be raised by her aristocratic Spanish relatives. Now she's returning to stay with her San Franciscan relatives, as she explains to her suitor, Harrison Ford. As she wends her way up a hill, plumbing magnate Pat O'Malley -- playing a character imaginatively called 'Pat O'Malley' -- gives her a lift in his auto. He falls in love instantly, but she cannot bring herself to love a mere plumber, until suddenly she does, and then equally abruptly, doesn't.
How very odd and random! At first I thought I was looking at a chopped-down copy, but no, there isn't much cut from the original running time. Of course, we fully expect that the aristocratic Miss Boardman will wind up marrying O'Malley, under whatever name he chooses to use in the film. It's a very odd movie for King Vidor to direct, but perhaps his issues with his own divorced wife, Florence Vidor, were coming through. If so, what does it say that he and Miss Boardman married the year after this was released?…..£7.49

 

Pursued (1928)

Starring Art Accord this film has a runtime of 50 mins…..£7.49

 

Puss In Boots aka Mästerkatten i stövlar (1918)

Directed by John W.Brunius and starring Sam Ask, Gustaf Bengtsson, John W.Brunius and Palle Brunius, this film has a runtime of 62 mins and the print quality is very good to excellent.

Plot: Young Jörgen Steenfeld is the heir of the estate Steensgaard and unable to clear up its finances. He is being looked after by his old friend, "Mästerkatten".

Review: One of the remarkable things about the long-overdue Renaissance in interest in the films of the silent era is that, as the trickle of films rediscovered, restored or re-released becomes a veritable flood, one is faced with something of an embarrassment of riches. So it is with the wonderful Swedish cinema of the period. While critical attention is at last lavished on Victor Sjöström and Mauritz tiller, and as viewers and critics alike rediscover with a certain surprise the films of George af Klercker....there are still those who are still getting a little forgotten, among them a certain John W. Brunius.
This was Brunius' first film and is already a very assured piece of work. It is a light comedy but very charmingly told, acted and filmed in a quite strongly naturalistic style. Not perhaps as fine as his later films (I recommend both Synnöve Solbakken 1919 and Gyurkovicsarna 1920) but a very enjoyable film to watch all the same.
It is based on a 1905 Danish novel originally called not called Mästerkatten i stövlar (Le Chat botté or Puss in Boots) but rather Markisen de Carabas/Le Marquis de Carabas who is the cat's master in the Perrault story. It was however under its present title that it enjoyed popularity in Sweden, also being dramatised for the stage 1915-16 with Gosta Ekman in the title role which he also plays in the film.
Jörgen Steenfeld (called George Longsford in the slightly shortened French version which survives and which seemingly transposes the action to England) has inherited his uncle's estates only to find that everything is mortgaged to the hilt and he is in effect penniless. His uncle has however left a letter suggesting that his nephew should use the appearance of wealth to create the reality as in the Perrault tale and telling him to find a suitable "Puss in Boots" to help him with the confidence-trick.
By coincidence Jörgen/George has a former college chum called Karl Konstantin Kattrup (Charles Catworth in the French version) who just so happens to be a resourceful and fellow, now down on his luck, who has always been nicknamed "Puss in Boots". George employs Charles as his estate-manager on the understanding that he will exercise his ingenuity on George's behalf in the manner suggested by his late uncle.
The obvious solution is to marry for money and a suitable heiress in the form of Rose, daughter of the local squire Markdanner (Viscount de Tudor in the French version, played by the director himself) whose mother is strongly in favour of the alliance. The snag is that George is not in love with Rose but besotted with the penniless orphan Pips (Jenny Moore in the French version) while Rose is not in love with George but has fallen for Charles, encountered at the very beginning of the film when he emerges unconventionally but romantically from a haystack where he has been spending the night.
There is a kind of fairy godfather in the form of George's uncle's old friend (and principal creditor) Emil von Schinkel (Robert Repton in the French version) and a villain in the form of the money-lender Kristen Bögedal (Van der Griff in the French version). So, one way or the other, the Puss has his work cut out to render everybody happy (except of course the odious usurer).
It is silly and sophisticated at the same time in the classic manner of European comedy of manners, a form that even the English sometimes have difficulty in appreciating and which their trans-Atlantic cousins can rarely comprehend at all. It is rather in the same line as the German films of Lubitsch, Stiller's sparkling 1920 Erotikon and Murnau's 1924 Die Finanzen des Grossherzogs, a fantasy/satirical comedy that gets a consistently bad press from anglo-saxon critics that it does not at all deserve….£7.49
