Favorite Silent Film Posters

Yeah, it is a six-reeler feature film. You may have seen parts of it separately (like that interview scene I was referring to).

I might have, and maybe thought that it was cut off in the beginning and end - some videos on youtube are like that.

Some seriously beautiful detail and brushwork in this poster for the 1922 Norma Talmadge vehicle Smilin' Through:

A poster for Fig Leaves (1926). I love the gentle pastel colors used here. A pity the Technicolor sequence hasn't survived, although it seems some fragments may have, judging by the frame seen at the top of this page.

How pretty! By the way, I have that movie saved, but still haven't watched it. It's hard to believe that was February of last year (according to the file date).

Yes! A beautiful selection of colors and design. I might have preferred it without the still on the left, but I guess that was to sell the technicolor.

This is relevant again!

Oh WOW! Isn't that beautiful?? I think I missed this the first time around.

I've been reading an exciting book from 1908 called King Spruce by Holman Day. I was thinking it would be a great movie or TV series. Well, so did the filmmakers of 1920!!!
