Movie Reviews of Treasures III: Social Issues in American Film, 1900-1934
Movie Review: Magnificent
Summary: 5 Stars
I now have American Treasures Sets 1, 2, and 3 and 3 is by far the best of the lot. 4 discs filled with fantastic rare older films, silents and early sound pictures centered around social change and politics, transferred from 35mm masters, with new scores (not all piano this time!), extensive background notes and commentaries, and a great book to accompany the films this set is superlative entertainment and education.
For those of us who love silents this set will keep you enthralled for days or weeks. You will learn so much about early 20th century history! Every high school history teacher should show some of the films in this set. Some of my favorite films in this set are From The Submerged, 100% American, The Soul of Youth (surviving William Desmond Taylor film), Poor Mrs. Jones!, The Godless Girl, Where Are My Children?, Ramona, Redskin, Bud's Recruit (King Vidor's earliest surviving silent), Trial Marriages, and The Voice of the Violin.
About the only negative I can come up with for this set is that they didn't get permission to use Carl Davis' magnificent orchestral score for Cecil B. DeMille's last silent The Godless Girl. This score was on Kevin Brownlow's version aired in the UK. What's on the Treasures 3 set for this film is a piano score which, though nice enough, doesn't begin to enhance the film like Mr. Davis' orchestral score. If anyone is buying this set just to get The Godless Girl they might be disappointed to learn that Carl Davis' score is not the one on the film.
Definitely put Treasures 3 on your buying list. You will love it.
