Thanks for the helpful input fellas. I should've done more research before buying the DVD's, but fortunately you've both given some "sound" advice :wink: On the bright side, I am surrounded by many gifted musicians. Surely there's one among the talented group who'd rise to the creative challenge...

COMPLETELY SILENT DVD's

I've recently acquired some silent films on DVD, but none of them have soundtracks :roll: Are there persons out there willing and able to create a fitting score for these films?

Thank you,

Thanks for all the helpful information ev'rbody! Just curious--has anyone read "Silent Snowbird?" I just got that from Amazon. There's a very small picture in the book taken just before she died. It breaks my heart every time I look at it.

Alma Rubens on DVD

Hello,

I am wondering if there are any films with Alma Rubens available on DVD (or any home video format for that matter). I am familiar with her personal story, but have yet to see her on the screen. Anyone know how this could be remedied? Thanks!
