Trivia
Following the successful telecasts of Othello (1922) and Kotka (1925), New York City's WJZ (Channel 7), began a weekly series of Sunday evening silent film feature presentations, shown more or less in their entirety, which aired intermittently for the next twelve months. This feature was initially broadcast Sunday 14 November 1948, and, like the rest of the series, aired simultaneously on sister stations WFIL (Channel 6) (Philadelphia) and freshly launched WAAM (Channel 13) (Baltimore), an innovation at the time; the following week's selection would be The Americano (1916).

From Australia with Love

At his Australia sheep station, rancher Rod La Rocque (as Amos Burden) receives an invitation to visit his wealthy uncle, on the French Riviera. There, Mr. La Rocque learns the ways of the world, and falls in love with Russian Princess Jetta Goudal (as Nadia Ramiroff). Unfortunately, the lovers are interrupted by the arrival of well-mannered villain Noah Beery (as Ramón Garcia). Mr. Berry is also aroused by Ms. Goudal, and eventually steals her away, to his castle's dungeon "The Coming of Amos" is a comedy adventure which goes all over the map, without much cohesion (apart for the boomerang). The castle set ending is nicely produced, though.
