TCM Classic Film Festival

TCM Film Festival: The Cameraman (Edward Sedgwick, 1928)

May 27, 2011 by Kristen Sales

My favorite part of watching silent movies is the variability of the experience depending on the format.

TCM Classic Film Festival: The Devil Is A Woman (Josef von Sternberg 1935)

May 1, 2011 by Kathryn Schroeder
