THE COSSACK WHIP  (1916)
Director: John Collins
Viola Dana, Robert Walker, Grace Williams
Collins directs his wife in this intense pre-Revolutionary Russia spy thriller with equal parts exotica and erotica.  Beautiful art direction.

THE CIRCLE  (1925)
Director: Frank Borzage
Eleanor Boardman, Alex B. Francis, Joan Crawford
Actors feast on a multi-layer cake of love triangles in W. Somerset Maugham's classic drawing room drama.

MADCAP MADGE  (1917)
Director: Raymond B. West
Olive Thomas, Charles Gunn, Dorcas Mathews
Betty's practical jokes and monkeyshines jeopardize her respectable family's future fortunes so they pack her off to boarding school--but where there's a will, there's a way back.  Hilarious.  A rare look at a radiant star shortly before her young, tragic death.

THE CITADEL (1938)
Director: King Vidor
Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Richardson, Rex Harrison
A young, idealistic doctor is destroyed by coalmine owners when he tries to help sick workers.  He retreats to London where he is turned into a gold-digging society doctor.  Donat is supported by a galaxy of superior British acting talent in this top MGM production.

MADAME X  (1920)
Director: Frank Lloyd
Pauline Frederick, William Courtleigh, Casson Ferguson
A mysterious lady, separated from her son for 20 years, must rely on him to defend her on murder charges. Not the first, or last, version of this perennial soaper, but Frederick makes it the best.

THE WHITE SISTER  (1933)
 Director: Victor Fleming (uncredited)
 Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Lewis Stone
 Gable's animal magnetism and Hayes' aristocratic elegance can't compete with fate in this ill-fated love story, photographed by ace, William Daniels.  Remake of the silent classic.

SHERLOCK HOLMES  (1922)
Director: Albert Parker
John Barrymore, Roland Young, Carol Dempster
Barrymore in his prime (he played Hamlet on stage that year) is the great detective.  Filmed in London and endorsed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this treat was restored a few years ago by Eastman House from a print found in their vaults.

THE LADY OF SCANDAL  (1930)
Director: Sidney Franklin
Ruth Chatterton, Ralph Forbes, Basil Rathbone
In this witty comedy, stage star Chatterton finds herself surprisingly engaged to a dull-as-dishwater upper-cruster.  His family disapproves of her (of course) but her family disapproves of him (but what about all that money?)  Who will win?

 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT  (1935)
Director: Josef von Sternberg
Peter Lorre, Edward Arnold, Marian Marsh
Lorre is the screen's most menacing Raskolnikov in this dark, gritty (and much shorter) version of the novel.  Wonderful Sternberg touches throughout.  Marsh is spectacular.  Lorre's U.S. debut.

STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR  (1940)
Director: Boris Ingster
Peter Lorre, Elisha Cook Jr., John McGuire
A newsman is haunted by strange memories after giving key evidence in a murder trial.  This taut, weird, psycho-thriller is regarded as the first American film noir.  A must see!
