By 1927, Lillian Gish was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. She had been making films for 15 years, beginning as the protégé of D.W. Griffith, starring in his groundbreaking production such as Is the birth of a nation and intolerance. Gish parted ways with Griffith and made Annie Laurie (1927) after signing a new contract with MGM Studio. Of all the studios in Hollywood, MGM was one of the few that carefully preserved its existing silent films, but Annie Laurie was not among them. For decades, this film was considered lost. Then, in the 1970s, the American Film Institute acquired a copy --- the only known 35mm nitrate copy of the domestic version. The film was almost complete, but it was not in pristine condition. It was deposited at the Library of Congress where it's been preserved and recently restored, including its original two-color Technicolor ending, and a new score by Robert Israel.

A rarely seen gem.

A copy of this film was recently found and restored by the U.S. Library of Congress. It is well written, directed, acted and filmed. It is about the need to end cycles of vendettas and the courage required to say that you will not allow the cycle of death and hatred to continue. It is about the fact that humans by nature are loving and that only a perverse heart hates indefinitely. This is a story about courage and the cowardice of people who misuse power to their own petty ends.

Some dangerous stunts from a time in which leads did their own stunt work. Miss Gish's fall down a mountain face might not have been as dangerous as jumping around on ice flows as in Way Down East. Yet it reminds us of a time when actors no only did their own stunts in uncontrolled environments but COULD ACT as well!
