Kevin Brownlow, Patrick Stanbury (and the late David Gill) of Photoplay Productions are, to me, GODs. If you have an opportunity to see any of the silent films they restore or any of their documentaries on early film, do not miss them. Browlonw's trilogy on Silnet Film, The Parade's Gone By, The Warm The West and the Wilderness and Behind the Mask of Innocence are all MUST reads for anyone with an interest in this period of filmmaking. For another eye-opener, also try Brownlow's Cinema Europe, a six part series on European silent film, it sure opened my eyes!

Okay, off my film geek soapbox (until I get to the chaplin post Tref left last night )
