Vintage poster for the movie Lucrezia Borgia, 1922

Mezo 2001 Silent Screamers action figure line. Nosferatu from the 1922 film The figure goes for exaggerated proportions but as the original design started with these, it fits with the limbs and torso. Also they went to town with the rats on the base. Good purchase for vampire fans.

Miss Clara Bow looking very much the femme fatale in silk dressing gown, platinum and diamonds wristwatch and cold steel. Circa 1928.

As many of you probably know, I am a huge fan of silent films. I could not just pass on this magnificent 4k version of one of the most iconic horror films of the silent era, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film turned 100 years old in 2020, can you believe it? I feel beyond grateful that we still get to enjoy this masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema today! This version includes a small booklet with facts about the film, behind the scenes, how it was filmed, information on expressionist cinema, and so on. It's by far worth every penny.

This is the probably the oldest movie I've reviewed. I watched it for Italian Horror Month back in November as it was the most popular horror film from Italy that I hadn't seen. What I have to say that for a movie that is over one hundred years old, it has cool effects and an interesting adaptation of the source material. Have you seen this one?

Style alert: Anna May Wong was included on a list of fashion icons from the roaring 20s that influence present day style via the Hello Magazine website. The article noted 11 style icons, but I only counted 10. 🧐 9 of them were silent film actresses: 💫 Anna May Wong 💫 Josephine Baker 💫 Clara Bow 💫 Carole Lombard 💫 Jean Harlow 💫 Marlene Dietrich 💫 Greta Garbo 💫 Mae West 💫 Louise Brooks Do you agree with this list? I felt like they left out some other glamorous & stylish ladies as well. Perhaps, they’re not as well known, such as Colleen Moore. Photos: Getty Images.

ITALIAN SILENT EPIC FILM - MALOMBRA 1917 - WITH ITALIAN SBUBTITLES

ITALIAN SILENT EPIC FILM - MALOMBRA 1917 - WITH ITALIAN SBUBTITLEShttps://youtu.be/rbtlbMKCo8k

Malombra è un film del 1917, diretto dal regista Carmine Gallone, ispirato dall'omonimo romanzo di Antonio Fogazzaro del 1881.  La marchesina Marina di Malombra, rimasta orfana, viene accolta nella dimora dello zio conte D’Ormengo, un tetro e sperduto Palazzo in riva al lago, ma con la condizione di potersene allontanare solo quando si sposerà.  La giovane donna trova in una vecchia spinetta una lettera nella quale una sua antenata, Cecilia, racconta in modo accorato la prigionia in cui fu tenuta dal marito, il padre del conte, a causa di una relazione avuta con un giovane ufficiale, e chiede di essere vendicata. La marchesina passa le sue giornate rinchiusa nella grande villa sul lago di Como. L'atmosfera della casa e dell'ambiente circostante la conducono alla pazzia. Il film è semplice da seguire grazie alle didascalie in lingua italiana, semplici e concise.
