A±±±±± This series is just wonderful, and it's very sad that not many people have seen this. Probably because of the length and detail the films get into, but for Hollywood buffs it's great! I learned a lot, and the films answered a lot of questions that I had.

I’m very happy to have found this documentary. I have been down a film rabbit hole for a while now. I’m loving the original footage. Film has lost something in the last few decades imo and it’s good to look back at the history behind the forgotten silver age. The recent film Babylon is a good example of the time and probably an accurate depiction of the wild artists and crazy directors at the end of the silver age.

Yep! C.B. and v. Stroheim were autocratic but, well-worth everyone's patience. And to THINK . . . both appeared in "Hollywood Boulevard;" C.B. as himself and Stroheim as loyal tender and former husband to "Madame," Norma Desmond, whose most famous line of advisement applies even in our own day -- "Talk! Talk! Talk! Why, in my day we didn't NEED talk . . . we had FACES!" How very much the case and to-now, this has not lessened as truth. Gloria Swanson (the inimitable) herself narrated an hour-long work focusing on the Twenties. It is a real tribute that she makes for old Hollywood. It is well-worth seeking out, maybe here on olde Y-T? (As titled 'Hollywood Ballyhoo,' maybe?) In Sunset there are the "wax-works" guests invited for cards. They are all recognizable, being old silent stars from Norma's day. In the 1937 film "Moonlight Sonata" a similar scene manifests, as happened at the Baroness's, one of the players being the great pianist and Polish Premiere, Paderewski himself! (I believe his game was Whist?) For any having interest, it might be viewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH6WpIqLdsqrl68

Do you really think, then or now, that anyone would want to sit through an eight-hour-long feature film? That’s how long his version of Greed (1924) was before Irving Thalberg had it cut down to two hours. I’d call that crazy, not genius.

I must disagree. Perhaps you have never seen The Ten Commandments ? If you have its probably the sound version with Charlton Heston. Try an see the full silent version. It is in two parts and the modern day (1925) story is beautifully subtle and acted by Rod La Rocque and others.
