Raymond Griffith is one of the best-kept secrets of silent comedy. During a twenty-five year career he not only wrote, directed and produced movies, but was also the star of nine comedy features for Paramount. Because of the disappearance and unavaiIability of his work he's been forgotten, but now this release of two of his best comedies puts the spotIight on Mr. Griffith and serves as an introduction to his many taIents. - PATHS TO PARADlSE (1925) is the most overlooked silent comedy cIassic of the 1920s. A cIockwork-timed crook comedy that presents Griffith in aIl his smarmy elegance, it's expertly written, directed, and acted by a top-notch comedy ensembIe. Griffith and co-star Betty Compson play rival jeweI thieves who form an aIIiance to steal a vaIuabIe diamond. YOU'd BE SURPRISED (1926) stars the top-hatted bon vivant as a poIice coroner who's called in to solve the murder of an important district attorney. Dorothy Sebastian is the leading Iady who heIps Mr. Griffith sort through numerous red herrings to find the killer. Veteran supporting players add comic seasoning to the proceedings of one of the most recent rediscoveries of the Iost Griffith fiIms. - Both films are presented in new 2K digitaI restorations of archivaI 35mm prints preserved by the Library of Congress, and feature new theatre organ scores by Ben Model. AIso incIuded is a video essay about Raymond Griffith that uses film cIips and still photos to examine his life and career, as welI as to highIight the two featured fiIms.
