Blu-ray Review Annie Laurie – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Today, Annie Laurie.
Though he is largely forgotten today, director John S. Robertson – who was later immortalized by The Byrds with their 1967 single “Old John Robertson” – first broke into movies with the Vitagraph Studios in 1915 before heading to Paramount Pictures, where he directed his best known film, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) with John Barrymore in the lead. By 1927 – after directing a few Richard Barthelmess films for First National Pictures – he was at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where he teamed with the studio’s latest prized star acquisition Lillian Gish for the romantic period drama Annie Laurie. Once thought of as a lost film, Kino has given the film its official home video debut here.
