4.0 out of 5 stars Four Major Pickford Films in a Low Cost Collection, June 23, 2008

This review is from: Mary Pickford Signature Collection: Pollyanna, Poor Little Rich Girl, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Little Annie Rooney (DVD)

This very inexpensive single disc DVD features four essential Mary Pickford films POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL (1917), REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM (1917), POLLYANNA (1920), and LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY (1925). Print quality is fair to good, ANNIE's print is very good. This set is a great bargain and the 1917 titles are fairly rare so this is a must for any Pickford or silent movie fan. However, the musical score for three of the films is a carousel-like organ piano that is often inappropiate for the scenes in the movie, for example it happily pipes away during the segment of one film in which Mary is informed of the death of her father!! You might want to turn off the sound. This was done by a budget company so don't expect the quality of the pricier titles authorized by the Pickford estate by Image but still it's very nice to see this set on the market, one of the few silent "budget" dvd sets out there other than Chaplin or Keaton titles. The "bonus feature" is a nice collection of Pickford images including movie posters. At only a dollar a movie, you could hardly quibble about this collection and I'm happy to own a copy of it.

Nice selection of Pickford films.

Be aware that these films are also included in the "Silent Cinema 3 disc collection" so, if you buy that one, don't make the same mistake I did and buy this one as well.

This review is from: Mary Pickford Signature Collection: Pollyanna, Poor Little Rich Girl, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Little Annie Rooney (DVD)

These films are really sweet and give an excellent opportunity to see "America's sweetheart" in four of her most famous "little girl" roles. While it is lovely to have any access at all to these films, the transfers are definitely in the budget range. If you can pick this up for $4 or $5, then go for it, but don't expect more than a hint of what the films were really like. And definitely do NOT use these transfers as a model for what silent film is like--it would kill the love before it got started. The maddening calliope music for 3 of the 4 films is wretched: it is much better to turn off the sound and play different background music. Indeed, one is just as well off to head over to the Internet Archive and watch them for free--the quality there, poor as it is, is pretty much the same as on these disks.
