Members DAMfan Posted March 25, 2012 Members Share Posted March 25, 2012 Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) will be on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), Sat March 31, 8pm (ET) 7pm (CT) I saw this in my film class, considered by many to be the finest silent film ever made by a Hollywood studio, F.W. Murnau's Sunrise represents the art of the wordless cinema at its zenith. Based on the Hermann Sudermann novel A Trip to Tilsit, this "Song of Two Humans" takes place in a colorful farming community, where people from the city regularly take their weekend holidays. Local farmer George O'Brien, happily married to Janet Gaynor, falls under the seductive spell of Margaret Livingston, a temptress from The City.

Members quartermainefan Posted March 25, 2012 Members Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hmm, I think the best silent movie I ever saw was Ben-Hur, but I will keep a look out for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
