This week showing on Noir and Chick Flicks at the movies. (Located on the sidebar): ORPHANS OF THE STORM (1921). Cast: Gish sisters, Lillian and Dorothy.(pictured above) Set in late 18th century France, during the French Revolution. This was the last Griffith film to feature Lillian and Dorothy Gish, and is considered Griffith's last commercial success. The film is about class conflict and a better understanding against hatred. The costumes and some of the hairstyles are amazing. Look for Kim 's review on Noir and Chick Flicks: Period Film page. Welcome Kim :)

Paul, Sorry I did not get home in time to see the movie Dead Reckoning(1947). I need a rain check for our movie discussion. :)
Have a wonderful week at the movies.
Orphans of the Storm is a great film. It is one of my favorites of Griffith's films.
ReplyDeleteWhat , you did not get to see Dead. ? Ok I'll give you a ran check. BTW remember you have A "Free Pass" this month at the cafe for trivia time, but you still have to play.
ReplyDeleteSilent, I agree Orphans of the Storm is a great film.
