If you love silents, check out http://www.drplonk.com/ for information on a new silent film coming from Australia. I haven't actually seen the film, but the trailer looks promising. (It took me a couple of tries to get the trailer to load, but keep trying. It's worth it.)

The director did a nice job of capturing the feel of the comedies of the silent period without being campy or ironic. Babe fans will also recognize Farmer Hoggett's wife in the cast.

I imagine it is unlikely that this flick will get an American release, but let's keep our fingers crossed for a Region 1 DVD.
IT CAME FROM THE BOTTOM SHELF! is a movie recommendation site, focusing on forgotten classics, lesser-known gems, and oddball discoveries. https://www.bottomshelfmovies.com
