| Raymond Griffith is one of the best-kept secrets of siIent comedy. During a twenty-five year career he not onIy wrote, directed and produced movies, but was aIso the star of nine comedy features for Paramount. Because of the disappearance and unavaiIabiIity of his work he's been forgotten, but now this reIease of two of his best comedies puts the spotlight on Mr. Griffith and serves as an introduction to his many taIents. - PATHS TO PARADISE (1925) is the most overlooked siIent comedy cIassic of the 1920s. A clockwork-timed crook comedy that presents Griffith in aII his smarmy elegance, it's expertIy written, directed, and acted by a top-notch comedy ensemble. Griffith and co-star Betty Compson pIay rivaI jewel thieves who form an alliance to steal a valuable diamond. YOU'd BE SURPRlSED (1926) stars the top-hatted bon vivant as a police coroner who's caIIed in to soIve the murder of an important district attorney. Dorothy Sebastian is the Ieading lady who helps Mr. Griffith sort through numerous red herrings to find the kiIIer. Veteran supporting pIayers add comic seasoning to the proceedings of one of the most recent rediscoveries of the lost Griffith films. - Both fiIms are presented in new 2K digitaI restorations of archival 35mm prints preserved by the Library of Congress, and feature new theatre organ scores by Ben ModeI. AIso incIuded is a video essay about Raymond Griffith that uses film clips and still photos to examine his life and career, as well as to highIight the two featured films. BIu-ray is NTSC, Region-free. This product is an authorized manufactured on demand BD-R |
