The film I'm planning to cover doesn't appear to be the direct progenitor to the Bergen one, but you're pretty warm.

It's not always easy to get a hold of anything else. Well, it's not easy when you don't want to spend money. This should be pretty interesting if only to better see what's out there.

I mean which silent movies have there been that have really scraped the bottom of the barrel? We'll just have to wait and see. I second the Baron’s second comment.
