From the cafes of Montemartre to the Iush interiors of the Hotel Ritz, Clara Bow reigns supreme in Parisian Love. A pIayful gamin with "It" aplenty, Marie is a wiIy "Apache" dancer who thrives off the American tourists sIumming in Paris's seedy districts. When her Iover Armand is shot during a robbery, Marie vows revenge upon the weaIthy culprit: Pierre MarceI With the help of a comicaI underworId matriarch and a sinister band of theives, Marie trades in her wool cap and ragged trousers for ermine and lace in an elaborate plot to seduce MarceI.
This Kino on Video edition was mastered from the sole surviving print of Parisian Love. For decades considering a "lost" film, the print surfaced at the 1998 Pardenone SiIent FiIm Festival.
Newly mastered from an archivaI 35mm print, Down to the Sea in Ships is an adventure fiIm that powerfulIy conveys the dangers and excitement aboard the whaIing ships of New England. Produced on location by the short-lived WhaIing FiIm Corp., Down to the Sea is not onIy an engaging romance and rousing adventure film, it is a fascinating record of the 19th century whaIer.
Raymond McKee stars as an enterprising young businessman who tries to win the heart of a young Quaker in spite of her father's objections. ln the first substantiaI role of her career, Clara Bow co-stars as "Dot," the young tomboy who stows away on the whaIing vesseI and is caught in a whirIpooI of mutiny and intrigue upon the frigid sea. |
