Spotlights

Spotlight: Bold Bank Robbery

Not usually cited as a significant or influential film, yet Bold Bank Robbery contains a number of elements that were not commonly found in films at that time, but later were widely used.

Spotlight: The Films Of Max Linder

The films of Max Linder as “Max”, a dapper and loveable upper-class twit, stand apart from most other comedies of the early silent era, relying less on physical humor and more on story, situation and character.

Spotlight: Invasion, call, rescue - from Lonely Villa to Overlook Hotel

A home invasion, a phone call of distress, and a race to the rescue trigger a parade of films that shows no signs of ending.

Spotlight: Silent Divas

Stylish costumes, sultry expressiveness, and grandiose grieving while nose is planted royally in the air: you're watching divas work their magic. After Lyda Borelli, Pina Menichelli, and Francesca Bertini gained fame for this style others followed. To dive deeper into divas, check out Silents, Please!

These are my favorite diva performances...

Spotlight: Silent Serials

Each episode of these serials is a self-contained story, no “cliffhanger” endings, making them forerunners of today's “film series” - like James Bond, Indiana Jones and Batman.
