DVD "Yolanda" (1924) Marion Davies, Holbrook Blinn, Classic Silent Swashbuckler

Description: After the great success of "When Knighthood Was in Flower" director Robert G. Vignola and Marion Davies teamed up again for another blockbuster. "Yolanda" is a historical romantic drama and a swashbuckler starring Marion Davies, Lyn Harding, Holbrook Blinn, Ralph Graves, Theresa Maxwell Conover, Macklyn Arbuckle, Mary Kennedy, Johnny Dooley, Arthur Donaldson, Ian Maclaren, Gustav von Seyffertitz and many others. The events in the film occur during the reign of King Loius XI of France. Princess Mary of Burgundy is in love with a brave knight, but is being forced into a hated marriage with the half-witted heir of the French throne. On February 20, 1924 The New York Times published a review of the film. Here are some excerpts: "The scenes and settings of this film are a tribute to moving pictures, as are also the faultless and expensive costumes. In addition to this there are splendid portrayals by Marion Davies, who never looked more beautiful in a photoplay; Lyn Harding, who was never more effective, and Holbrook Blinn, whose impersonation of Louis XI is so good that one does not see enough of him. To those persons who desire a love story rendered by a pretty actress with clever support in amazingly beautiful surroundings, this picture will have its appeal." By the standards of the average silent film "Yolanda" has acceptable quality and is perfectly watchable. The facial expressions can be seen clearly. There is no missing footage nor any nitrate damage; the plot can be followed easily from beginning until end. The film has done better than 70% that are lost forever. The film is 1h 40m, so you will get an excellent value for your money. The movie is accompanied by quality music that greatly enhances the viewing experience. The DVD comes in a slim jewel case and has the cover art exactly as you see it on the photo.Smoke free homeH
