Quite entertaining. And a good score by Elmer Bernstein. But who removed the Wolpert "spiral" logo at the end of the closing credits? That's just criminal.

★★★★ · A blast from the past. · Bovine Stool · 2021-11-07

An very enjoyable look at the golden age of Hollywood. There is a 13 episode documentary on this website called "Hollywood: A celebration of the American silent film" which would be a good accompaniment to this TV Program for any film buffs. It was made in 1980, and features some great film footage as well as interviews with actors, directors, cameramen and stuntmen of the silent era, now long dead.
