Douglas Fairbanks, John Gilbert, and Lillian Gish are only a few of the superstars to be found at the 14th San Francisco Silent Film Festival, which will take place July 10-12 at the Castro Theatre. Among those scheduled to provide musical accompaniment to the on-screen action are the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, Philip Carli, Stephen Horne, Dennis James, and Donald Sosin.
Among the San Francisco Silent Film Festival&#8217;s highlights are:
The Gaucho (1927), an adventure tale involving faith and redemption, starring Douglas Fairbanks and Lupe Velez in her first important film role. 
&#34;A daring departure,&#34; is how [...]]]></description>

Turner Classic Movies&#8216; series &#34;Race in Hollywood: Latino Images in Film&#34; kicks off this evening. 
So what if &#34;Latino&#34; isn&#8217;t a race? So what if it isn&#8217;t even an ethnic or a cultural group, but merely a US-made sociopolitical construct? I&#8217;d say that what matters here are the films themselves &#8212; all Hollywood productions. And  hopefully some of the  introductions,  provided by Robert Osborne and UCLA professor of film and media studies Chon A. Noriega,  will be illuminating. 
Tonight, TCM watchers will be able to catch Hollywood&#8217;s foremost couple of the 1920s, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, playing  Spanish-speaking  characters (by way of English-language intertitles) in, respectively, the D. W. Griffith-directed early short Ramona [...]]]></description>

Erich von Stroheim&#8217;s masterpiece and one of the best silent films ever made, Greed remains a powerful indictment against the deadly sin of the title. Based on Frank Norris&#8216; McTeague, the film revolves around the misdeeds of a California dentist (Gibson Gowland, center), his miserly wife (ZaSu Pitts, left), and her former lover (Jean Hersholt, not in the above picture), all of whom sacrifice their selves to the all-powerful God of Dollar Bills.  Stroheim&#8217;s initial cut had 47 reels, though eventually Greed was pared down to 10 reels (approximately 2h15m). That is all that is known to survive from the original film. But in spite of the drastic cuts, many of  Stroheim&#8217;s magnificently perverted excesses are very much [...]]]></description>

Though no masterpiece, The Mollycoddle is a surprisingly enjoyable romp starring Douglas Fairbanks as an effete, upper-class nonentity who discovers both his manhood and his red-white-and-blue Americanness before the final fadeout. His leading lady is a minor actress named Ruth Renick, but one barely notices her. The director is Victor Fleming, best known for Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, but The Mollycoddle is truly all Fairbanks&#8217;.
