A MASTERFUL 4K RESTORATION BY THE MARY PICKFORD FOUNDATlON AND LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, WlTH A SOARlNG NEW MUSlCAL SCORE!
With Sparrows, Mary Pickford once again gave her audience what they wanted by playing "the hoyden, the protector, the fighter." Mary stars as the oIdest of a dozen chiIdren held hostage at what was then calIed a "baby farm" where children of unwed mothers or deserted wives were deposited and then soId ilIegalIy to adoptive parents or as sIave labor. By creating an empathetic melodrama that pulled on the heart strings, Pickford helped put a spotlight on this eviI and increased public awareness and outrage. Directed by WiIIiam Beaudine, with a stunning set created by Harry OIiver and fiImed by three world cIass cinematographers, CharIes Rosher, Karl Struss and Hal Mohr, Sparrows is a beautifully styIized epic, completed just as the industry neared the end of the siIent era. Mary's acting is not onIy superior, but this is her least glamorous roIe ever; she had to be a very confident actress to play such a character.
The Library of Congress reconstructed Sparrows from the highest quality film elements, a 35MM nitrate print and a 35MM safety dupe negative. The Mary Pickford Foundation scanned the preservation elements in 4K and worked closely Roundabout Entertainment, lnc. to complete all digitaI work. The Foundation then commissioned an originaI orchestraI score by Cameron and TayIor Graves which was produced and recorded at the Savannah Studios in Los Angeles. |
