MestnyiGeroi's "TCM's Silent Sunday Nights Intro Montage Films"
I love the film-clip montages used by Turner Classic Movies (N. Amer. TV) to promote or introduce its programs or film series. Lovers of silent movies are especially familiar with the montage used to introduce the Silent Sunday Nights features. Once you’ve seen these montage clips enough times, it’s always a delight when you then recognize a very familiar moment in a silent film you haven’t seen before.
Here are the clips used:
- Our Dancing Daughters (balloons)
- The Flesh and the Devil (Greta Garbo and John Gilbert – couple dancing)
- The Big Parade (Renee Adoree, John Gilbert – couple kissing)
- Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (Rudolph Valentino – man in hat puffing smoke)
- Greed (Zasu Pitts – woman with abject look)
- Noah’s Ark (George O’Brien – man in rain)
- The Crowd (Eleanor Boardman – woman looking in mirror, happy)
- Our Dancing Daughters (Joan Crawford – woman looking in mirror, distraught)
- The Crowd (James Murray – man doing facial pantomime)
- Show People (Marion Davies, Dell Henderson – woman revealing face by lowering a kerchief)
- The Kiss (Greta Garbo – woman looking seductive)
- The Cameraman (Buster Keaton – lovesick man peering over the top of a camera)
- The Wind (Lilian Gish – woman looking frightened, peering out window)
- Greed (Zazu Pitts – woman looking terrified)
- Greed (Gibson Gowland – man closing in on woman, looking menacing)
- The Wind (lantern swaying in the wind)
