Silent DVD: Georges Méliès and Harry Langdon
This week Silent DVD has reviews of two top-notch DVD collections. The first is Georges Méliès: First Wizard of Cinema. This amazing set collects 173 of the
innovative directors movies, from his early actualities in 1896 through to his very last film, 1913's Voyage de la Famille Bourrichon. A truly impressive collection of
historic and entertaining films. Next up is Lost and Found: The Harry Langdon Collection. Langdon, now all but forgotten, was incredibly popular at one time and
used to pack movie houses. At his prime he was compared to Charlie Chaplin and was Mack Sennett's favorite comedian. This set of his shorts (and one feature)
illustrates why he was so popular and has some incredibly funny films. All this and more in this month's Silent DVD.
