Re: Re: Pictorial from "Suez" added

Do you know I had a vhs copy of "Where Are My Children?" (taped it off TCM when it aired...just one time) and like an idiot I accidently taped over it!!! Nice.

Yes, isn't that amazing that the entire Power family made an appearance. Baby TP is on there for a good minute or so in the end, if memory serves (?)

I'm ashamed to admit that though I had taped the film I had yet to watch it full and had only seen snipptes. Bad, I know. So the info. you provide is very interesting indeed! Talk about a different era! (Well, this was the time that "Birth of a Nation" was considered the greatest film ever made as well ?!)

Do you have the boxed set and if so what are the other films like?

Re: Re: Re: Pictorial from "Suez" added

Wow--I didn't know this even existed!

Thanks, Peachtree, for mentioning it.

Obviously Ty was being groomed even before he could talk!

Yes, I have the box set and like all the sets in the Treasures series, it's an absolutely fantastic trove of cinematic history. The sets all include a thick booklet with wonderful notes about the background of each film and, in the case of the silent films, the new accompanying music. The films vary from fragments a few seconds long to feature length.

You can read up on all the box sets (there are now four) at the National Film Preservation Foundation's website:

How are the films themselves, Peachtree, as far as entertainment and/or return viewing possibilities?
