Hey dude thank you for uploading this

[@WD40W]

Fun Fact...There is a stage play called Merton & The Movies...This...Isn't it...Most of this footage is lifted in generous chunks from a 1980 BBC 13 part Doc called "Hollywood"...I do appreciate Mr. Merton's taking us to original locals in the modern day...FYI Merton &/Of The Movies was a play Buster Keaton toured with his wife...Anything about Buster you ever wished to know...A PBS American Master's Buster Keaton: A Hard Act To Follow...It's out there and it's stellar...Thanks for this upload...Well worth the view...

This isn't bad as far as it goes; I like the on-location shooting, and the host is ok. However, it borrows MASSIVELY from the already-existing, and COMPLETE, history of silent film called "Hollywood: A Celebration of Silent Film" by the great Kevin Brownlow. In fact, the Allan Dwan interview is taken right from THAT documentary. Could've at least credited it.

Excellent work. I've read and watched so much on the subject, and travelled the town thoroughly. Live there 20 years. I Love Hollywood ❤️

That muscle man is Eugene Sandow .

In terms of filmmaking, "Birth of a Nation" is such a masterpiece for it's time; so unfortunate that D.W. Griffith chose to make such a deceitful and poisonous film. I guess he joins Leni Riefenstahl in infamy.

Carla Laemle was in Dracula .... " Among the many jagged peaks ..."

I think I now know where Coppola got the idea of using Wagner’s Valkyries music for his famous helicopter attack scene…

Is this a history of Hollywood, or a modern man's critique of historic film?
