Very nice. The film was lost for over fifty years and then rediscovered in of all places the State Film Archives of the Soviet Union, which then donated the copy to the Museum of Modern Art. Robert Harron tragically died young at 27 after accidentally shooting himself in the chest with a pistol. He was also romantically involved with Dorothy Gish, his sometime leading lady. Lillian Gish, of course, would go on to one of the longest careers in film and stage.
If anyone is joining in the next 10++ minutes, the live stream film is just starting!!! Activate the live chat or superchat, and join us! If you see this after the premiere has concluded, you can still read the comments in time with the movie, but unfortunately, you cannot contribute. Hope you enjoying the show… & for the love of cinema… say it with your thumbs👍 or a super sticker 😉
I put ol' D.W. on my list of greatest ten American directors, when prompted by a film twitter questionaire, and predictably it didn't take more than five minutes before people started calling me a racist!
For all that is holy stop using Premieres with a unrealistic wait time. A hour or two is understandable but days? No. Especially when you can just search UA-cam and find the movie to watch instead.
@@TheP3NGU1N How much is it at RiffTrax? Oh right, they don't _have this_ at RiffTrax. Until they do (and it's free), _the rest of us_ will be having fun riffing it on our own at the predesignated time. If you don't like it, don't join. It's as simple as that, (K)Aaron.
Love this movie! Lillian Gish is a wonderful actress and her character is so stylish and cute in this one!

You aren't going to get to enjoy the community's riff chat at those, though.
Totally agree with you Aaron Jones
