  I meant to add Sunrise, but decided to wait until I do my next recommended listing which will include German silents. BTW, I'm hopeful that the Brownlow Greed restoration, which has been shown on TCM a couple of times, will one day find it's way to DVD.

    I have "Greed" on laserdisc but it is not that version. The TCM I have not seen and I have been anxiously waiting for the DVD. I use parts of "Greed" to demonstarte to "talkie" folks how powerful silent
    film can be.

    • Brownlow uses the technique he employed in restoring Abel Gance's Napoleon, which is also unavailable... - Audiophilander 15:46:55 03/19/04 (1)

      ... thanks to Francis Ford Coppola owning the rights in this country and his insistance on using the butchered Zoetrope version because it has Carmen Coppola's orchestral score. BTW, Brownlow's technique uses stills and script to replace lost, partially damaged or destroyed film segments that were in the original Director's version. It may sound distracting from my description, but it really isn't; it's the next best thing to a complete full-length restoration, IMHO.

        Would that the original 8-9 hours COULD be found and restored!
