The afterword from the Library of Congress (LC) says this book's purpose is "to increase the visibility of its film collections." It does that. But as a primer on the history and glories of film's silent era, it fails. Journalist Kobel's text is shallow, disorganized, and full of errors, including those of omission and internal contradiction. A photo caption calls Theda Bara "the screen's first star," but the book's spotty A-to-Z section on "The Stars" doesn't include her, also leaving out all of...

Format: DVD, Silent Movie
SILENT MOVIE is director Mel Brooks's comic tribute to the golden days of the silent screen. A movie within a movie SILENT MOVIE stars Brooks as Mel Funn a filmmaker who has seen better days--for one thing he's just come out of a bout with the bottle. When his best friends Marty Feldman and Dom DeLuise rescue him from despair and convince him to make another attempt at moviemaking Mel comes up with an idea--a silent picture. Alas this is the 1970s and in order to get backing from wacky frazzled studio chief Sid Caesar the three pals have to get lots of celebrities to agree to be in their silent picture. SILENT MOVIE is in fact silent and all the celebrities play themselves or parodies of themselves. Funny warm and packed with sight gags galore the film evokes the days of Chaplin Keaton and Pickford and Fairbanks while remaining oddly and wondrously contemporary. There is hardly a funnier scene than when Burt Reynolds--vainly admiring himself in the mirror while showering--is talked-up about the movie by DeLui
