  • Lost Part-Talkie Remake

    The O. Henry story "A Retrieved Reformation" was already an old hat at the start of the talkie era. Filmed most famously in 1915 with Maurice Tourneur at the helm, this MGM adaptation starred the charming Billy Haines as Jimmy Valentine, safe-cracker.

    The story is as follows: Jimmy Valentine is a top bank robber but he gets caught and sent to prison. Convincing the higher-ups that he was framed and deserves a pardon, Jimmy begins to lead an honest life. But the law has not forgotten and a certain policeman is determined to see Jimmy Valentine jailed once and for all.

    This film is lost. No known copies exist. Any review that does not describe the time, place and circumstances of a modern screening must be suspect.

    Update: Rejoice! A 9.5mm four-reel abridgement survives! This does NOT contain the talkie sequences and is presented as a silent with French intertitles. It was recently screened (2017) at the Cinema Museum in London.

  • This is a lost film, more's the pity

    Famous for his wonderful, wavering voice, Ed Wynn tried his hand at silent film in this Chester Conklin comedy. How good is it? We may never know. Despite what other reviewers claim, this is a lost film and no copies are known to exist. It's a shame as it would be a valuable piece of movie history.

    From the description in the AFI catalog, the plot involves Wynn as an amateur detective who is hired by jewel thief Conklin as the gang's patsy. It seems it's one of those "accidentally heroic" plots and it all ends up on the ice floes over Niagra Falls. Pretty standard stuff for comedy of the day but I am quite curious as to how Wynn came across without his famous voice.

    Once again, the world may never know. Check those attics, film fans!

  • Missing and Presumed Lost

    This film is missing and presumed lost. This means that no copy is known to exist either in archives or in the hands of private collectors.

    This is a very obscure movie from the Vitagraph motion picture company. Anita Stewart was one of the top stars of American cinema when this film was released in 1914 and crime adventures were stylish the world over.

    It's a pity that no known copy of this movie exists as it looks like it was probably a fun little mini-serial in the "Hazards of Helen" manner. Plus, it features Anders Randolf and Julia Swayne Gordon, to veterans of the early film industry whom I like very much.

    Once again, this is a lost film. Any review claiming to have seen a copy but does not state the time, place or circumstances under which the viewing occurred must be treated with suspicion.
