Anna Boleyn (1920) is by far the most conventional of Ernst Lubitsch's early silent films and the most disappointing. It's a by-the-numbers historical tragic romance epic. Lubitsch was always at his best when he was being wild and crazy.

Ernst Lubitsch's Eyes of the Mummy (1918) sounds like a horror film but it's a romantic melodrama although there's an ancient Egyptian tomb and a curse, and strange and inexplicable events. Pola Negri stars. Early Lubitsch is so wild and crazy.

While getting photos of Mack Sennett postcards I left the folder open to these wonderful original movie promo photos for Zasu Pitts. Thema Todd appears in the left one. 2 very funny women who made the switch to sound. Their peak was in the early sound era.

Mack Sennett Comedy Postcards

Better known for Keystone Film slapstick films Mack Sennett also produced comedies featuring bathing beauties. Bordering on the salacious at the time they were a popular alternative to "French Postcards."
