Title: Evangeline
Review: I purchased this silent with my heart set on seeing Miriam Cooper in the starring role. Upon its arrival, I immediately noticed the name "Dolores Del Rio" as the lead, and put it on the shelf. I'd heard of Del Rio, but my disappointment at not having Miriam Cooper as Evangeline over-rode my curiosity. Come to find out, the version of "Evangeline" that stars Miriam Cooper is considered "lost".When I put aside my misgivings. and viewed the film, I was struck by the beauty of Dolores Del Rio, and the depth of her emotions. Her performance was quite extraordinary, and you could see that she'd thrown all of herself into playing Evangeline. Also, this dvd was constructed from the original 35mm prints, and boasts the original tints and musical score.This is a wonderful rendition of "Evangeline" that bears witness to the dedication and artistry of little known directors and "foreign" actors. I recommend this movie to anyone who has a penchant for silent films at their best.
