The Old Nest (1921)?

Post by Rodney » Tue Aug 17, 2021 11:52 am

I was asked by someone about The Old Nest (1921), particularly, whether it survives. It was the first film shown at a particular theater, so they're curious about it.

It does not bode well that I can find almost nothing, except my posting about Gaston Borch's score for it from a contemporary review, and one reference from a 2011 post that it was listed in the FIAF database as being at the Cinemathque Francaise.

Thanks for any assistance from those with better access to archive holdings than me!
