	Film history and film preservation
		Films made in certain wide screen formats or with specific now obsolete sound systems or most colour films from the last three decades are in grave danger.
		The script only approximated the completed film: a number of scenes described in the script were not shot (according to Mark Sorkin's hand-written notes in the margins); other scenes which were supposedly not produced, actually showed up in surviving prints; other scenes were constructed differently or appeared at a different point in the film.
		The work of the film archivist is to discover the best possibleur-text, using all the methodologies and documentary evidence at their disposal, while resisting the urge to improve both the technical and the aesthetic quality of the work, just because modern laboratory methods make it possible.

	USS Potemkin : Ship's History
		Directed by Sergei Eisenstein in 1925, Battleship Potemkin, regarded by many as a masterpiece of storytelling and cinematics, was the cause of quite a stir for its time.

	The Gold Rush (1925)
		The Gold Rush (1925) is the quintessential Chaplin/Little Tramp film, with a balance of slapstick comedy and pantomime, social satire, and emotional and dramatic moments of tenderness.
		It was Chaplin's own personal favorite film, that showcases the classic Tramp character (referred to as "The Little Fellow" in the re-release version) as a romantic idealist and lone gold prospector at the turn of the century, with his cane, derby, distinctive walk, tight shabby suit, and mustache.
		The film, inspired in part by the gruesome Donner Party story, was shot (over a period of 15 months from spring 1924-summer 1925) both on a Hollywood studio back lot and in Truckee, California/Nevada, and premiered in New York at the Strand Theatre in mid-August, 1925.

	Film Threat - Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The 1925 version survived, but the extant prints deteriorated to the point that they were rarely screened; many scholars mistakenly believed this version was lost.
		Perhaps the most satisfying aspect of the 1925 version, compared to the endless remakes and ripoffs (including the hi-fi "Phantom of the Paradise"), is the Phantom here is presented as Gaston Leroux envisioned him in the original novel: as a demented freak with extraordinary musical genius.
		This is the rare film where a character looks straight into the camera without intentionally cuing the audience that the proverbial fourth wall is down (such as Bob Hope's asides to the audience in the Road pictures).

	Harvard Gazette: Radcliffe Fellow explores early female film pioneers
		By the 1990s, however, scholars had unearthed, from deep in film archives around the world, evidence that hundreds of women worked in the early years of silent film, as directors, producers, writers, and editors as well as actresses.
		One concrete explanation for the disappearance of women in the early film industry is the disappearance - literally - of their films.
		But by 1925, the film industry had been thoroughly masculinized, and she was sent home," said Gaines.

	Lost World (1925) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Filmed at 108 minutes, over the years (after the advent of sound) the film was cut and eventually was considered lost.
		There is restored at the beginning a lengthy scene (straight from the novel) showing Malone with his present girlfriend, who tells him rather flightily that she couldn't marry a man who hasn't performed a courage or heroic deed: a scene which forms the impetus of Malone's eagerness to join the expedition.
		The later part of the film deviates from the book, where an army of "missing-links" is represented by one ape-man, the war between the tribes is missing, and their escape from the plateau is effected much more easily that it was in the novel: but in essence the film really does stick to its source.

	Film History of the 1920s
		Vidor's enduring classic silent film of Everyman, The Crowd (1928), a realistic "slice-of-life" tale of a faceless, underpaid, hard-working clerk who never seemed to get ahead in the big city of New York during the Jazz Age, was under-appreciated at the time of its release.
		The film was about an aspiring Jewish cantor's son who wanted to become a jazz singer rather than a cantor in the synagogue.
		The other major film studios (Paramount, Loew's, First National and UA) realized the expensive and challenging ramifications of the sound revolution that was dawning, and that talkie films would be the wave of the future.

		Potemkin is made up of five major sequences: the rebellion of the ship's sailors over rotten food, the mutiny on the quarterdeck, the display of the martyr's body on the quay, the massacre of civilians on the Odessa steps, and the triumphant sailing of the battleship to meet the fleet.
		One of the most memorable shots, comprising the Odessa steps sequence, for example, captures the horror of the massacre in a close-up of a woman screaming after she has been wounded by the advancing soldiers.
		With this film, Soviet cinema took a central place on the world scene, in spite of the fact that the film was censored, even banned, in many countries for its powerful glorification of the Soviet ideal.
