I don't know if Gwynplayne is lying

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I don't know if Gwynplayne is lying when he writes his reviews, but I do know that I was able to give his name to the people at www.silentera.com and point them in the direction of an existing print of the long-lost Bebe Daniels film THE SENORITA (1927), and later to a print for the 1928 version of TILLIE'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE (1928). Even if his film reviews are lies - and I do not say that they are - I think that he would have to have a level of creativity as great as my own in order to make up those reviews, as they seem to be concisely detailed and he is aware of the events in the plot. In fact, being the Welshman he is, I wonder if he is exaggerating a little instead of telling a complete lie to the other IMDb members.
