The Plastic Age (1925)

Post by dachshundonstilts »

Here I go posting this again. It's the Paul Whiteman soundtrack I put together a few years ago for this Clara Bow film. It features Gilbert Roland in his first major screen role, as well as uncredited bit parts by Clark Gable (pre-moustache), Janet Gaynor, and Carole Lombard. Also somewhat notably, Donald Keith's parents are played by Mary Alden and Henry B. Walthall, both of whom had appeared ten years earlier in The Birth of a Nation.

Recently I read the Percy Marks novel this film was loosely based on. I can only say "loosely" is an understatement. But both the book and the film are entertaining, on different levels. Only reason I did this soundtrack was that the print I downloaded was silent, but I think it turned out pretty well. :)

Awesome! Love it. I will soon watch that, and will soon make a way to embed video :)

Well, poop. I just got a notification that YouTube has muted my video due to one of those bogus German copyright claims. But you can download it from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1puqo1z3vpt1e1g/TPA-omnibus.mp4?dl=0

So ridiculous.... I think some of those claims are definitely bogus, as you say.

There's some company in Germany that claims to own all kinds of music that they really obviously don't, but they still manage to play havoc with a lot of videos.
