PATHS TO PARADISE (1925): Another #silentfilm revisit, this of the LOC restoration recently Kickstarted by Ben Model. Big visual improvement over what previously floated around. Charming light comedy. Fun to see the duo of Raymond Griffith and Betty Compson (whose dreadful film survival rate probably precludes the rediscovery she deserves). Feels like they would have worked as a regular comedy pair in setups like this. The flashlight gag slayed me (again). #classichollywood

My last haul from Grapevine Video before they close their doors. They have been an invaluable source for silent films on DVD (and before that VHS) over the last few decades, and a great place to “deep dive” into the silent era. If that’s your sort of thing, DVDs still on sale through 9/6 at their website grapevinevideo.com. #oldhollywood #classichollywood #silentfilm

Quite pleased with the Kino Lorber sale haul this go-round. #oldhollywood #classichollywood #frenchfilm
