Due to Copyright and licencing issues we are unlikely to see a re realise of this on DVD in the UK i had to watch the shows on You tube .
Quite frankly one of the most uplifting moving thought provoking documentaries you will ever see , only the World at War could compete in depth of subject
Producers Directors Writers David Gill and Kevin Brownlow clearly love the silent film era , this is clearly not a job its a calling .
Kevin has said they had to do it as nobody else would or cared , thankfully they did as the silent stars were passing away there recollections of the era would be lost for ever .
Icons like Lillian Gish in later life recounting there glorious past is quite frankly astonishing , a lot of these legends died shortly after production , by securing interviews that nobody else now can, has made this series priceless
The Producers managed to secure interviews from absolute legends of the era Colleen Moore is my favourite she comes over so youthful , closely followed by the very likable "Buddy" Rogers
The Producers also interview Art Directors , Camera Men , and the Legendary Showbiz Writer Adela Rogers St. Johns .
A must for film fans but all a must for anyone ,
