    The Merry Widow

    I was able to watch this version of The Merry Widow on TCM. They played this on their Silent Sundays. It was amazing and beautiful!! The movie is in great shape for the age & the actors & actresses were unforgettable. If you can ever watch this film Please don't miss the experience!!!

    I am very thankful that Turner Classic Movies are able to show the classics that would be otherwise lost forever. The actors & actresses of the Golden era should never be forgotten because without them we would not be where we are today. I wish we still had silent movies because there is soo much more true acting than in today movies..
