For our final episode of 2021 we're going back to 1921 one more time for a look at American cinema 100 years ago!
We discuss enduring classics like Charlie Chaplin's THE KID alongside other key comedies by the likes of Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Max Linder, films by D.W. Griffith (ORPHANS OF THE STORM), Henry King (TOL'ABLE DAVID) and Lois Weber (THE BLOT), the star power of Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Rudolph Valentino, left-wing filmmaking, the one supposedly ‘avant-garde’ American film of 1921 (MANHATTA), a plethora of lost and forgotten films, 'international cinema' in the US and much more!
Recommended reading includes:
Kevin Brownlow, 'The Parades Gone By…' (1968)
Ibid, 'Behind the Mask of Innocence' (1990)
