Ben, you are a hero to the silent era. Thank you for all your efforts! Oh, and I really like your production company logo.

[@silentfilmmusic]

Thanks so much! Our "Undercrank Prods" logo was designed by Marlene Weisman, who does all our DVD/Blu designs. In the 1990s she did logos and product-spoofs for SNL like the Wayne's World logo et al. www.marleneweismandesign.com/past-funny-business

Congrats sir! So glad to have this on Blu. Thank you so much for all your efforts. 🙏🏻

You're welcome! Kudos also to LoC for the preservation and restoration on this, and to TCM for having such good taste in silents!

Thank you Ben!!! I am still on Cloud 9!!! Was a long wait, but so worth it!!!

It's a great film, and hopefully will get shown more - it's up there with "The Patsy" and "Show People" I think and I was glad to be part of the process of getting "Beverly" back out to fans.

Good Work, BEN :) .... I fell in love with silents because my older brother had to do a report on Chaplin's 'Gold Rush.' I was about 9 years old at the time (i'm 69 now) and I didn't want to go, but my mother was rarely around, and my father was on the road as a Peddler (remember those) so, I had to go....| Today most of my friends still think I'm funny weird, but I try as I might to explain to them, that SILENTS were the ONLY TRUELY NEW ART Form in the last 10,000 years. ..... I'm mostly into the comedies, but I still love many of the other silent Dramas and Adventures too. ..... MANY THANKS for the GROUP you and your wife and Friends do for US the Public having a SHOW ONLINE! -- m.

Marvin, thanks for sharing your story here! We're happy to have been doing the SCWP - and continue to do so - and I agree with you about the SILENTS. I think they're their own form of cinema and not a sub-genre. I'm writing a book about this that will come out next year called THE SILENT FILM UNIVERSE.

Hope films like "The Patsy" and "Getting Mary Married" are released on blu ray. The former was released on dvd-r by WB Archive Collection and the latter also on dvd-r by Grapevine. Don't know how long these dvd-r last.

I have some 20-year-old DVD-rs that play fine, and a couple years ago needed a short from the Kino Edison set, and the disc wouldn't load. "The Patsy" enters pub dom in 2024, but "GMM" is a candidate for another release - the GVine disc is SD and was rel. in 2012. A new 2K scan and digital resto of this Dwan-directed Davies would be something!
