This week's Silent DVD looks at some important early films that have recently been released on DVD. The Cat and The Canary was German director Paul Leni’s first American film, and it set the tone for haunted house movies for decades to come. A pair of early Lon Chaney films that are available on a single DVD are also reviewed; Tod Browning (Dracula) directs the master of disguise in The Wicked Darling, a film thought lost for decades, and then Maurice Tourneur takes the helm on Victory, a movie based on a Joseph Conrad novel. Milestone has solidified their reputation as one of the premier producers of silent film on DVD with their release of the Little Lord Fauntleroy, first in a series Mary Pickford films that are scheduled to be released in 2005. Milestone has also put out Asian-American star Anna May Wong’s best film, Piccadilly , in a gorgeously restored version with a nice selection of extras. Also in case you missed them, be sure to read Silent DVD's coverage of Edison - The Invention of the Movies, The Buster Keaton Collection, King of Kings and More Treasures From the American Film Archives.
