Clara Bow in "My Lady of Whims" - reels 3, 5, 6 in HD

Post by donnie »

Ben Model has just posted an HD transfer of a vintage Kodascope 16mm print of the three reels on his YouTube channel. (Reels 1, 2, 4, and 7 missing.) In the information he states that the complete film presumably exists at UCLA and the LOC. Although there are some very poor quality uploads of the complete film, it would be great if the whole thing could be restored in this quality (some beautiful tints here, too).

I never thought I'd get to see this in such high quality. Thanks for sharing!

And WOW, the outfits they were able to get away with in the silent era. I'm familiar with the stills of Clara's masquerade outfit but it's another thing entirely to imagine on a theater screen in 1926. I wonder how much censorship this film experienced.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...
