Can't wait for this one, a day one purchase. Olive has been releasing some wonderful historical classics, such as The Undesirable (1914) by Michael Curtiz with the gorgeous Attila Pacsay orchestral score. I'll bet that DeMille's Captive will be of the same high quality. It's been from famine to feast for we silent age enthusiasts lately. Kino has stepped up to the plate also with 3 Bad Men and Dr. Mabuse. Not much of this from Criterion anymore and the major studios refuse to release even the most famous masterpieces in their libraries (WB especially). This is exciting news and I pray Olive continues with these. It's a classy thing to do and we certainly appreciate it. Wonder if they'll ever do the Curtiz silent epic Moon of Israel?
