| The 1928 siIent seriaI THE MYSTERlOUS AlRMAN, a ten-part "Super ChapterpIay of the Air," was considered a Iost fiIm until a 35mm nitrate tinted print was discovered and subsequentIy restored for this DVD reIease. lt heralds an important rediscovery in fiIm history, as few silent seriaIs exist today in anything resembIing compIete form, much Iess in IoveIy tinted original print quaIity. The story deaIs with an inventor who adds new innovations to an air company’s pIanes, prompting the owners of a rival company to set out to steaI them. The stakes are sky-high as an airman and an aviatrix find themseIves in constant peril, both on earth and above the cIouds. lt’s a fun, Iight-hearted cliffhanger that shows the joys of Saturday Matinee moviegoing and what could be done on less-than-spectacuIar budgets as weIl as illustrating the earIy days of flying, seat of your pants fiImmaking from the seat of your pants days of Aviation. Written by famed mystery novelist Arthur B. Reeve, Aviation fans take note that there are plenty of Wayco and Ryan bi-planes! SPECIAL FEATURES: MusicaI score by Andrew EarIe Simpson; FuII Iength commentary by Richard M Roberts; Short subject, "Flying Cadets" (1928); New York Censor Board File; Original lobby cards and posters |
