[Matt Hough]

Harry Beaumont’s Our Dancing Daughters is an entertaining silent comedy-drama: a notable concoction that offered Joan Crawford the laughter, the tears, the dance moves, and the splendiferous clothes that would assure her a place in movie stardom that she’d enjoy for the next forty-two years.

So glad WB is making the effort to preserver and release these films.

Absolutely. This release gave me some hope that we'll get other classic silents in the future.

Two that come to mind though Im not sure these would be the top of my list: Noah's Ark 1928 (mostly because it was a notoriously dangerous shoot, perhaps the inspiration for the deaths of extras portrayed in Babylon) and Ben Hur 1925 out of curiosity for the spectacle when cameras were free to move around. I realize both exist in crummy SD versions. But a good blu ray would be welcome.
