The Silent Movie Collection
3 Bad Men
Starring: George O'Brien, Olive Borden & Lou Tellegen
Three outlaws come to the aid of a young girl after her mother is
killed. An outstanding example of the silent western and one of John Ford's
earliest triumphs. The photography is stunning and the land rush sequences
truly impressive, and while the story of redemption and sacrifice is predictable
it is nonetheless still moving. This movie was remade years later by Ford
himself as “ 3 Godfathers” starring John Wayne.
The Boob
Starring: Joan Crawford & George Kennedy
Idealistic farm boy Peter loves May whose fancy is
urbane Harry. He discovers Harry is a rum runner and turns him over to prohibition
agents, including Jane. May is at last impressed with Peter.
Dancing Mothers
Starring: Clara
Bow & Alice Joyce
This little melodrama concerns a
mother and her daughter falling for the same man. Mum's been the good little
"stay-at-home" while her daughter and husband do the town. But Mum gets her
revenge! Alice Joyce is very good as mum, and the ending is quite politically
subversive - but it is the wonderful Clara Bow who steals the picture. Her
vitality, as a little flapper, is mind-blowing, her beauty unsurpassed, and
her gowns magnificent. Worth seeing just for the scene on the couch when
Clara lies back laughing amongst the cushions - it'll make your heart race.
A Silent Classic!!
