The Powerhouse/Indicator(UK) set "Mae West in Hollywood" contains an extra - the Walter Lantz "Cartune Comedy" HOLLYWOOD BOWL. A series of caricatures of notable film/radio stars participate in a music fest. Below I list who I think the caricatures represent in order of appearance in this short film...

Re: Criterion Releases

The Fellini BD box set contains many extras, but I do not see listed some
material which was included on the previously released individual BD discs.

Has anyone put together a list for each of the included films of what NEW extras are
included, and which OLD extras have been omitted ??????

Thanks!

Re: Paul Robeson films

Thanks for the replies. I have learned that the old KINO company issued only 1 DVD of Robeson films containing 2 of the 4 films they released on VHS. The non-DVD films remained available only on VHS. Information suggesting there was to be a second DVD is a misreading of the DVD insert. Kino Lorber c...

I list below the releases I am aware of and hope list members will supply missing informati...

Re: any good books on early, preHollywood cinema?1890s - 190

MANY years ago I read THE LIVLIEST ART (Arthur Knight), do not remember any detail, but recall it as informative. One of the books listed in many lists of source material is Terry Ramsaye's A MILLION AND ONE NIGHTS, with the caveat that dates and facts are not precisely accurate. I think I obtained ...

Ida Lupino in THE LOVE RACE

Ida Lupino appeared in a half dozen British films before coming to the US. The first "The Love Race" was an UNCREDITED role/extra. I believe she would be one of the guests in a couple of party scenes where the guests are dancing. The film is available from the UK on a DVD issued by NETWORK, which I ...
