I didn't see this programme when it first aired, I only discovered it thanks to a comment on a movie podcast. Thames did a great job producing this documentary. It should be required viewing for anyone interested in making films. The silent era is ignored far too often. This programme not only showcases some of the great work from Hollywood back then but gives a voice to those involved. If you have any interest in silents then this a must-watch.

Hollywood: A Celebration of American Silent Film

For at least 15 years I've kept searching for a re-issue of this superb documentary on DVD.
By chance I learned about the availability through MovieDetectives and took a chance. Let me assure you the transfer is excellent. I own a 65 inch top-of the-line Samsung 4K and an Oppo 4K disc player and I was not disappointed at the image and sound.
I highly recommend a purchase; the series remains as fascinating as when I first saw it more than 25 years ago late at night on a Los Angeles local station.
