A Chama do Amor

I can't really give this a rating as I have not seen it but the first five reels of this eleven reel feature were found in the George Eastman House Archives.

Hopefully somewhere someday reels 6 through 11 will turn up as well.

So little of Vilma Banky's work survives today - it's a great pity as she was a very beautiful and moving silent screen actress.

This is also an early academy award nominee - it's a shame that even the films that were highly respected in their day became victims of time and decay . . .

This is not the time or the place to start a forum on film preservation, but it is important for us to preserve these early works of cinema, and even though the film is not complete, I hope that someone will preserve what's left of it and allow the general public access to study it.
