The Thief of Bagdad-Original Vintage Movie Poster for Raoul Walsh's Arabian Nights Adventure with Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Snitz Edwards, Julanne Johnston, Anna May Wong, and Noble Johnson. This is the epic Raoul Walsh adaptation of the classic Arabian Nights adventure about a thief in ancient Arabia, who poses as a Prince to win the hand of a Princess. THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (United Artists, 1924) remains one of the most visually stunning films of all time. With lavish sets, sumptuous cinematography, and magical in-camera special effects, this rollicking tale of romance and adventure continues to enchant audiences over 100 years after it first premiered. Having made a reputation for himself in the swashbucklers, Zorro, Robin Hood, and The Three Musketeers, Douglas Fairbanks propels this Arabian Nights fantasy to greatness. Fairbanks excels in his role by climbing a magic rope, riding a winged horse through the clouds, and battling underwater sea monsters. The special effects reach an apex of artistry when the thief invokes an army of thousands, possibly millions, from puffs of smoke. This is a magical tale...brilliantly told, and full of surprises too plentiful to mention here. https://vintagecinemaart.etsy.com/listing/1727190335 #thethiefofbagdad #arabiannights #douglasfairbanks #1924 #raoulwalsh #silentfilm #magic #adventure #vintagecinemaart #Wallart #Movieposter #vintagemovieposter #annamaywong

Last night, I watched Robert Downey, Jr. as Charlie Chaplin in Richard Attenborough’s amazing bio film, “Chaplin.” I still think it’s the best thing RDJ has ever done! His Oscar nominated performance, as one of the most iconic people of the 20th Century is mesmerizing! It’s also one of the best films about the early days of the film business. Supported with a 90’s era who’s who of talented outstanding players, with such standouts as; Anthony Hopkins, as Chaplin’s biographer, Kevin Kline as Douglas Fairbanks, Diane Lane as Paulette Godard, Dan Aykroyd as Max Sennett and Chaplin’s actual daughter Geraldine brilliantly portraying her own mentally ill grandmother. Not to mention this film’s stellar costume and production design, Chaplin stands as one of the best attempts to recreate those hellion days of Hollywoodland. #chaplin #charliechaplin #chaplinfilm #robertdowneyjr #richardattenborough #douglasfairbanks #kevinkline #anthonyhopkins #paulettegoddard #dianelane #maxsennettcomedies #danaykroyd #geraldinechaplin #silentfilm #chaplinstudios #charliechaplinstudios #charliechaplinstyle #90smovies #smilethoughyourheartisaching #natkingcolesmile #hollywoodpioneers #mydvdcollection #mymovierecommendations #culturalicon #silentscreenstars

"Robin Hood" (1922) is a silent adventure film directed by Allan Dwan and starring Douglas Fairbanks as the legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest. In this classic retelling of the Robin Hood legend, Fairbanks brings the iconic character to life with his swashbuckling charm and athleticism. The film follows Robin Hood as he fights against the tyranny of Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham, robbing from the rich to give to the poor and defending the oppressed with his band of merry men. "Robin Hood" is renowned for its breathtaking action sequences, which showcase Fairbanks' acrobatic skills and daring stunts. From daring sword fights to thrilling archery contests, the film is filled with excitement and adventure. Beyond its action-packed scenes, "Robin Hood" also captures the spirit of medieval England, with elaborate sets and costumes that transport viewers to a bygone era of chivalry and heroism. One of the most enduring aspects of "Robin Hood" is its message of justice and standing up for the downtrodden. Fairbanks' portrayal of the noble outlaw embodies these ideals, making him a timeless symbol of heroism and resistance against oppression. While there have been many adaptations of the Robin Hood story over the years, Fairbanks' portrayal in the 1922 film remains one of the most iconic and beloved. For fans of adventure and classic cinema, "Robin Hood" (1922) is a must-watch for its thrilling action, memorable performances, and timeless message of courage and justice. 🏹🌲 #RobinHood #DouglasFairbanks #SilentFilm #ClassicAdventure #1920sFilm 🎬🏰

Bessie Love (1898-1986) Douglas Fairbanks (1883-1939) From the 1916 film The Good Bad-Man #bessielove #douglasfairbanks In the 1916 silent western "The Good Bad-Man," Bessie Love shines in her role as Sarah May, commonly referred to as "The Girl." Love's character adds emotional depth and a romantic subplot to this classic cowboy tale. The film centres on "Passin' Through," a cowboy with a Robin Hood-like persona who steals money to support children born out of wedlock, believing that his own mother was in a similar situation. However, as the story unfolds, Passin' Through discovers that his birth was legitimate. His mother's death was orchestrated by Bud Frazer, a man who once courted her and later became her murderer. Bessie Love's character, Sarah May, is introduced as Amy, the woman Passin' Through loves and who becomes Frazer's kidnapping victim. As the plot thickens, Love's character undergoes a name change to Sarah May, but her role as Passin' Through's romantic interest remains consistent throughout the film. Bessie Love's portrayal of Sarah May is characterized by her grace, charm, and unwavering loyalty to Passin' Through. Despite the dangers and uncertainties they face, Sarah May stands by her man, offering him emotional support and encouragement in his quest for justice. Love's performance adds a layer of complexity to the film's narrative, balancing the action-packed sequences with tender moments of romance and intimacy. Her on-screen chemistry with the film's protagonist enhances the emotional resonance of their relationship, making their reunion at the film's conclusion all the more satisfying.

A young Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. with his lifelong friend, Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin was born on this day in 1889. When it came to filmmaking, Chaplin was a creative genius. His perfectionism led him to not only starring in, but also directing, writing, producing, and even composing the scores of his own motion pictures. He left an indelible mark on cinema and his contributions will live on forever. Images: 1. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Chaplin on set 2. Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. 3. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. poses with Paul Whiteman, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. 4.

United Artists foi criada em 1919 por Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford e D.W. Griffith. Eles a estabeleceram para ter mais controle sobre seus próprios filmes e escapar do domínio dos estúdios de Hollywood. United Artists foi uma das primeiras tentativas de artistas de cinema de Hollywood de assumir o controle criativo e financeiro de suas próprias produções. Chaplin, Fairbanks, Pickford e Griffith eram alguns dos nomes mais importantes da época e sentiam que os estúdios tradicionais limitavam sua liberdade criativa e lucros. Ao fundar a United Artists, eles buscavam autonomia para produzir, distribuir e controlar seus próprios filmes. Isso marcou um momento significativo na história do cinema, demonstrando a importância do poder dos artistas na indústria cinematográfica. #unitedartists #ua #marypickford #dwgriffith #charliechaplin #douglasfairbanks

At this year’s San Francisco Silent Film Festival — described by eminent critic @leonardmaltin as “a feast for lovers of classic film and live music that is as elaborate, ambitious, and masterfully mounted as any I've seen” — THE BLACK PIRATE (1926) starring silent-era superstar Douglas Fairbanks, will screen, in addition to HAXAN, directed by Danish auteur Benjamin Christensen. This year’s festival begins on April 10th and runs through April 14th, with Fairbanks’ film playing on opening night. GME is proud to distribute, to the North American university market, 11 Fairbanks films in the DVD collection DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS: A MODERN MUSKETEER. GME also distributes two Christensen titles on DVD in the collection BENJAMIN CHRISTENSEN: SEALED ORDERS / BLIND JUSTICE. DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS: A MODERN MUSKETEER is a five-disc collection that “includes eleven of the delightful modern-dress comedies, westerns, satires, dream-fantasies and romances which made Douglas Fairbanks a popular hero, before he launched into the costume spectacles for which he is best remembered today.” Bonus features include a facsimile of Fairbanks’ contract with Triangle-Fine Arts, optional audio commentary by Jeffrey Vance and Tony Maietta on A MODERN MUSKETEER (1918), a 32-page booklet with chapters on each film in the set, and galleries of rare stills from Fairbanks’ personal collection, courtesy of the Douglas Fairbanks Collection, the Margaret Herrick Library, and @theacademy.

Happy Birthday Mary Pickford! Canadian actress and producer, she was a co-founder of United Artists film studio with Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks. She is one of the original 36 co-founders of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences – the folks who bring you the Oscars. She was one of the most popular screen stars of the 1910’s and 1920’s and earned the nickname of “Queen Of The Movies.” Daniel G.

100 Years ago at movies. Marcus Loew pulls together all the pieces to form Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios which opens its doors with the hit “He Who Gets Slapped” with Chaney and makes stars of Gilbert and Shearer. Samuel Goldwyn remains an independent producer despite lending his name to Hollywood’s greatest studio of the Golden Years. Loew a legendary figure at the beginning of cinema, never lived to see just how enormous his brainchild would become however a century later his name is still out there attached to the theater chain he formed. CBC film distributors becomes Columbia Pictures but is firmly a small “poverty row” studio and a decade away from slowly becoming one of the majors. Valentino continues to struggle to find a major hit. Out of touch with the taste of the masses he is more famous now than his movies. Eventually described as a masterpiece, Erich Von Stroheim’s ambitious “Greed” is edited down from around 9 hrs, to 4 hrs down to around 2 hrs and lays an egg at the time. Swanson’s glamour reigns at the height of the “roaring twenties” and as does Meighan’s toughness at Paramount, helping to make it Hollywood’s biggest studio of the 20’s. “The Sea Hawk” creates big excitement and new star Milton Sills, Fairbanks rarely has more fun than in “The Thief of Bagdad”, Lloyd continues his winning streak with “Girl Shy” and John Ford creates his first of many western classics with “The Iron Horse.” Other major hits are “A Society Scandal”, “The Hummingbird”, “The Marriage Circle”, “Beau Brummell”, “America”, “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall”, “Secrets” and “The Navigator.” The Top 10 box-office stars are, Norma Talmadge, Marion Davies, Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, Thomas Meighan, Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford, Lon Chaney, Harold Lloyd and Ramon Navarro. #1924 #1920s #roaringtwenties #rudolphvalentino #gloriaswanson #mariondavies #lonchaney #cinephilecommunity #cinephile #moviebuff #marypickford #douglasfairbanks #thomasmeighan #lonchaney #normashearer #busterkeaton #haroldlloyd #normatalmadge #ramonnovarro #johnford #western #vintage #silentmovie #retro #turnerclassicmovies #warnerarchiveinstant #warnerarchive #netflix #amazonprime #loewstheaters

Raoul Walsh’s Thief of Baghdad from 1924 is pure magic. I don’t think there has ever been a movie star to top Douglas Fairbanks (Sr., not Jr.!) #silentfilms #douglasfairbanks #raoulwalsh #1001nights

Mary Pickford, the screen’s first true superstar was born on this day, April 8, in 1892. Hollywood’s Queen conveyed grace and dignity in a town not then known for either trait. In addition to her film legacy, Pickford’s business acumen lives on as well. The studio that once bore her name still thrives as The Lot at Formosa and the company she cofounded, United Artists, went on to release some of the most celebrated films in history. Trivia Tidbit: The song heard here, “Mary Pickford: The Darling of Them All”, was written and published by David Radford, Daisy Sullivan and Richard Whiting in 1914. #marypickford #littlemary #americassweetheart #unitedartists #douglasfairbanks #thelotatformosa #hollywoodhistory #hollywoodheritage #historichollywood #westhollywood #weho #lahistory #losangeleshistory #vintagehollywood #oldhollywood #oldhollywoodglamour #moviestar #oldmoviestar #classicmoviestars #classicmovies #oldmovies #silentfilms #silentfilmstar #silentfilmstars #turnerclassicmovies #todaysbirthdays #bornonthisday #bornonthisdate #thenandnow #hollywood

Birthday love for Mary Pickford, born on this day in 1892. Known as ‘Little Mary, the girl with the golden curls’, her great achievements were off screen as a business woman and she was highly respected by the male dominated Hollywood producers of the day. A star of the silent era, she was often typecast as a waif and stray, namely Tess Of The Storm Country 1914, Cinderella 1915, Poor Little Rich Girl 1917 and Daddy Long Legs 1919. She was 27 and a multi millionaire when she played the twelve year old Pollyanna in 1920. Married to Douglas Fairbanks, the couple inspired adoration around the world in a celebrity frenzy, their home ‘Pickfair’ became a gossip columnists paradise. A talented producer, screenwriter and film studio founder, her career spanned five decades. She was one of the 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She was awarded the second Academy Award for best actress. She was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. She died in 1979 aged 87 ❤️ . . . 📷 Nelson Evans #marypickford #silentera #silentfilms #silent #douglasfairbanks #littlemary #pickfair #academyawards #oscar #vintageglamour #vintagefilm #classicactress #leadingladies

In the past few days.. a couple of friends lost something .. and we offer up a useless something but we then ache for them..we ache for their loss..so I think of the intensity of my Father's and my own relationship..and of course I say what all do " No one can possibly understand " ..and so this picture has always spoke to me .. cuz for me I just see Douglas Fairbanks Jr , staring lovingly at his Father ..adoringly so.. and yes I too adored my Father, knowing; just knowing I could never fill his shoes. But shame on me for trying to hijack " their " photo. Here we see elegant men. A father and son.. Both men, who understood the human condition and the human narrative. They both were " Gentleman".. Men who walked the walk.. Men who never looked down apon anyone unless they were reaching down to help pick them up .🎩 #douglasfairbanksjr #douglasfairbanks #silverscreen #legend #filmicon #filmlegend #oldhollywood. #vintagehollywood #fathersandsons #class #classy

While in Los Angeles, I went to the Hollywood Forever cemetery to pay my respects to some actors from the golden age of Hollywood. The cemetery is so quiet and peaceful, an oasis within the busy streets of the city. #hollywoodforever #hollywoodforevercemetery #hollywood #stars #hollywoodgoldenage #rip #homage #rudolphvalentino #jaynemansfield #hattiemcdaniel #barbaralamarr #reneeadoree #judygarland #cecilbdemille #douglasfairbanksjr #douglasfairbanks #jesselansky #losangeles #faywray #1920s #1930s #1960s
