Is the translation to the effect that Milestone no longer has a distribution arrangement with the Pickford Foundation?

Sure sounds that way. Better make sure I have copies of all of Milestone's Pickford releases; I'm pretty sure I do.

I also wanted to check that I have all Milestone's Picford releases.
I went to their web site, but they are all removed.

So I checked my own inventory against what I could find on Amazon.
I think I have all or almost all of them.

To get information about what Elaina Archer of Mary Pickford Foundation is planning about perhaps re-releasing Ms. Pickford films I gave her a call (left a message) and suggested for her to visit Nitrateville and give us an update if available.

Perhaps it will be easier for one of the moderators to obtain information directly from her.

On the other hand thanks Milestone for all you have done.

Dennis and Amy, thank you for the last 20 years of wonderful releases and your important part in keeping Mary Pickford's films alive and available. I am sure your relationship with the MPF has been great for both you and the MPF.

I'm looking forward to see what new cinema treats you have in store for us.
