Jeanne Moreau's documentary on Lillian Gish

Post by ChaneyFan » Tue Oct 05, 2010 9:03 pm

Has anyone seen this? As a huge Gish fan, I've always wanted to, but I've never even heard of a screening or airing. I'd imagine it is in French, and maybe that is the reason. BTW, I'm always on the lookout for Albert Bigelow Paine's bio of Lillian as well. There apparently is a copy for $130, but that's pretty steep. Anyone know if the book is interesting enough to pick it up for that price?

Try:

http://www.bookfinder.com

They list a copy for less than $30 ppd.

It's definitely worth it.

Thanks, but that is what I used before I posted that. The only one I see listed there is the one for 130.

I checked addall and there are 15* copies, starting at $25.

**not quite 15, since some are duplicate listings.

Thanks guys. I guess I figured that no copies were around as I've never seen one anywhere or heard about them circulating. I can't wait to pick this one up.

Actually, I believe I have a copy of Life and Lillian Gish, if you haven't ordered it yet. A little beaten up, but you're welcome to it. Shoot me an IM and I'll check my shelves later on.
