When I lived in Beverly Hills I went to a lot of estate sales for homes originally built by silent film stars. In a few cases the current owner was only 2 removed from the original one and you could imagine why actors were considered royalty back then. They had an elegance that just doesn't exist anymore, a class all of their own. Lilian Gish was an embodiment of that. It makes me very sad to know they are no longer with us.

This woman is class and sheer, natural talent, personified. One of my very favorite actresses, in one of what I consider one of her best films.

What a lovely, soulful person Miss Gish was!

[@barbaragriffin8967]

The great, timeless Miss Lillian Gish

More movie history in this two and a half minutes than most people will learn in a lifetime.

Lillian Gish is so cute

[@EdwardTravels]

I wish they’d release The Wind on Blu Ray

[@WCaron23001]

Me too, with the Carl Davis score

[@TheGlasgowGamer]

The fact they haven’t is a disaster. The director was Sweden’s greatest director before Ingmar Bergman. And Lillian, the greatest screen actress of her time. It is unbelievable.

I have just watched this picture. In awe. Gish plays a woman driven insane by sheer loneliness. Still in awe.

Don't make me cry...

Sounds like, as in the case of Mary Pickford, she could’ve run the whole studio if she wanted to.

[@costernocht]

Could she be more adorable?

[@madelainewinger7014]

I love Miss Gish. She had real talent.

[@Draugluin999]

She did well may she rest in peace

Thank you for providing this. My favorite Silent Film. Loved this intro on the VHS. Wish this (and others on the MGM Silent Classics list) would come to Disc

[@eldesconectado]

Solo con esta intro ya quiero verla :)

[@madelainewinger7014]

Lars Hanson was hot.

[@SushiFeverDream]

He was 🔥

I have this movie on DVD, it's a piece of my beautiful collection of silent movies. Here you can watch this movie with a semi-improvised soundtrack by the Edge Ensemble: vimeo.com/235370424

Quite inadequate soundtrack.
