New on Blu-ray: THE SPANISH DANCER (1923) Starring Pola Negri & Antonio Moreno

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Pola Negri (The Wildcat) was already an international star. Antonio Moreno (The Searchers) was her equal in terms of talent and sex appeal. The director Herbert Brenon (Beau Geste) was one of the greatest directors of his day and he was assisted by his cinematographer, James Wong Howe (Hud). Together, they created one of the great romance epics of the silent era. Restored by Eye Filmmuseum, The Spanish Dancer (1923) is a joy to behold. The film is action-packed, witty, and romantic with huge sets and a cast of thousands. Brenon keeps the adventure going full steam ahead while Negri and Moreno show why they were huge stars of their day. Includes a new orchestral score by Bill Ware!

DVD & Blu-ray: BEVERLY OF GRAUSTARK (1926) - Silent Comedy

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: In the comedy Beverly of Graustark, Marion Davies is an American co-ed whose cousin Oscar (Creighton Hale) is a Prince and heir to the throne of Graustark. In a twist of fate, she must switch places with him in order to prevent the conniving General Marlanax (Roy D'Arcy) from becoming King. Along the way, Beverly (as Oscar) meets goat-herd Dantan (Antonio Moreno), hires him as her bodyguard … and winds up falling for him. There are mistaken identities, intrigue, clothing swaps, a chase, a swordfight and more- and in the end Beverly winds up with the goat-herd, cousin Oscar becomes the new King, and there's a big fancy ball.

Marking a stylistic shift from Marion Davies' earlier features, Beverly of Graustark – expertly directed by Sidney Franklin – is more akin to her 1928 rom-corns Show People and The Patsy.

Beverly of Graustark is presented here in a brand new 4K restoration by the Library of Congress that includes the film's original 2-color Technicolor ending. New musical score composed and performed on theater organ by Ben Model.
