By creating an empathetic melodrama that pulled on the heart strings, Pickford helped put a spotlight on this evil and increased public awareness and outrage. Directed by William Beaudine, with a stunning set created by Harry Oliver and filmed by three world class cinematographers, Charles Rosher, Karl Struss and Hal Mohr, Sparrows is a beautifully stylized epic, completed just as the industry neared the end of the silent era.

Chaney created the legendary makeup himself, and gave a performance of enormous sensitivity and pathos, launching him into Hollywood immortality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlu-ray Extras Include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":10817,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":0,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":275199},\"16\":12}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Audio commentary by film critic Farran Smith Nehme | Booklet essay by film historian Michael F.

Though best known for his star-making collaborations with Marlene Dietrich, von Sternberg began his career during the final years of the silent era, dazzling audiences and critics with his films’ dark visions and innovative cinematography. The titles in this collection, made on the cusp of the sound age, are three of von Sternberg’s greatest works, gritty evocations of gangster life (Underworld), the Russian Revolution (The Last Command), and working-class desperation (The Docks of New York) rendered as shadowy movie spectacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFILMS IN THIS SET:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderworld (1927)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosef von Sternberg’s riveting breakthrough is widely considered the film that launched the American gangster genre as we know it. George Bancroft plays heavy Bull Weed, a criminal kingpin whose jealous devotion to his moll, Feathers (Evelyn Brent), gets him into hot water with a rival hood and, ultimately, the authorities. Further complicating matters is the attraction that blossoms between Feathers and an alcoholic former lawyer (Clive Brook). With its supple, endlessly expressive camera work and tightly wound screenplay based on a story by legendary scribe Ben Hecht (who won an Oscar for it the first year the awards were given), Underworld solidified von Sternberg’s place as one of Hollywood’s most exciting new talents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Last Command (1928)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmil Jannings won the first best actor Academy Award for his performance as a sympathetic tyrant: an exiled Russian general turned Hollywood extra who lands a role playing a version of his former tsarist self, bringing about his emotional downfall. Josef von Sternberg’s The Last Command is a brilliantly realized silent melodrama and a witty send-up of the Hollywood machine, featuring virtuoso cinematography, grandly designed sets and effects, and rousing Russian Revolution sequences.

Instead of the guns, cannons and Huns audiences were getting used to in 1918, Mary plays a young woman living quietly with her family on an isolated farm, wondering how she will ever meet a potential husband. When an entire battalion of soldiers march in to be bivouacked on the land, the war is brought home and she suddenly is faced with a wide choice of suitors. Johanna Enlists served as an important means of encouraging enlistments that were still needed even as the film was released only a few months before the war's end. Miss (Frances) Marion knows every one of Mary's good points as an actress, and she never permitted one to escape her. Does anybody in pictures give us better, sweeter, more wholesome, and natural comedy than Mary Pickford? - Los Angeles Times, September 16th, 1918 Mary Pickford is admittedly the foremost motion picture actress in the world. She has attained this distinction by her talents, her winsome personality, her delightful artistry, her perseverance, and un-grudging efforts to give to her admirers the best that genius has to offer. Miss Pickford's artistry is unrivaled in the exceptional field in which she shines, and in every role, she essays and exhibits that effervescence of youth which is a source of constant delight to her audiences. In \"Johanna Enlists\", Miss Pickford creates a new and delightful role and one which will serve to endear her the more, if that be possible, with the motion-picture loving public. - The Houston Post, October 27th, 1918\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"MVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42666956816584,"sku":"VCI9096","price":33.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/johannaenlistsbd.jpg?v=1683330778"},{"product_id":"foolish-wives-blu-ray","title":"Foolish Wives (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUS Import\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this silent classic, Sergius Karamzin (Erich von Stroheim) is a con artist who pretends to be a count in order to charm and swindle naïve women for money.

It includes new scores from some of the best silent film composers working today: Neil Brand, Antonio Coppola, Eric le Guen, and Donald Sosin. The films included are Lucky Dog (1921), 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926), Duck Soup (1927), Slipping Wives (1927), Love 'em and Weep (1927), Why Girls Love Sailors (1927), With Love and Hisses (1927), Sugar Daddies (1927), Sailors, Beware!

Mary Pickford plays dual roles in a film that is very different from anything she had ever done before. It tells the story of two, very different young women; a beautiful, rich, but crippled Stella Maris and Unity Blake, a deformed and abused orphan. Director, Marshall Neilan, and cinematographer Walter Stradling created some trick photography for Mary to play both roles, using double exposure photography and complex editing which made it possible to present both characters on screen simultaneously.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Mary Pickford Foundation and the Paramount Film Archive partnered to access all elements available in the Pickford collections both at the UCLA Film \u0026amp; Television Archive and at the Library of Congress.

Scans from the Dupe Negative were used for the majority of the feature, and all surviving material from the print was inserted where possible. New inter-titles were digitally recreated for the Dupe Negative to match the feel and length of the Print, as the cards in the Negative were static and much longer than originally intended. The tinting scheme of the Print was used for all evening sequences: amber for night interiors and blue for night exteriors, with the rest of the feature B\u0026amp;W for all daytime sequences. Lastly, all the most egregious damage was digitally repaired, the film's printed-in jitter was stabilized, and the film's frame-rate was digitally varisped to 19fps, mirroring a more natural, hand-cranked projection speed suitable for 1918, the year of the film's release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary track by Marc Wanamaker, author and film historian.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiner Notes Pictorial Booklet by the Mary Pickford Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive Photo Gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mountaineer’s Honor, an American Biograph short film released November 25th, 1909.
