I'm looking forward to your post; Roman Holiday is one of my daughter's two favorite movies. I've been tied up but I'm getting started tonight.

They never fail to amaze me.<br />Just one thing: I'd call the 1925 Wizard of Oz anything but "peculiar" - you were too nice with that disaster.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :) <br />Cheers!<br />Le<br />http://www.criticaretro.blogspot.comLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-531675482439563472015-12-06T21:01:17.176-08:002015-12-06T21:01:17.176-08:00By the way to everyone: I have had a busy weekend...By the way to everyone: I have had a busy weekend but I will get to work Monday on reading all of your posts.

Tom Mix had great charisma, and his movies for Fox zip right along. Glad you liked the story about City Lights. I am a lucky guy to be in love with a silent movie fan with a tender heart. <br />Fritzi: Thank you for the kind words. Tom Mix's alleged biography is an important part of his entertainment value, I think.Joe Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165780971886135575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-26112314570384348032015-12-06T17:15:55.195-08:002015-12-06T17:15:55.195-08:00Thanks so much for joining in!

This looks like a terrific film. Thanks – I know I'll like this very much.<br /><br />P.S. Loved the story of you taking your future wife to the Charlie Chaplin film festival and her crying at the end of "City Lights".Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-58494950071298672722015-12-05T15:25:34.960-08:002015-12-05T15:25:34.960-08:00Nice review.

Especially what you've said about Tony; I've always enjoyed films featuring animal heroes.<br />Plus, references to Buster Keaton AND The Beatles add coolness to your review :)<br />Thanks for the recommendation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-749784814828618432015-12-05T15:05:09.447-08:002015-12-05T15:05:09.447-08:00Thank you, Caftan Woman.
