Title: Sweet films, Rotten copies
Review: These films are really sweet and give an excellent opportunity to see "America's sweetheart" in four of her most famous "little girl" roles. While it is lovely to have any access at all to these films, the transfers are definitely in the budget range. If you can pick this up for $4 or $5, then go for it, but don't expect more than a hint of what the films were really like. And definitely do NOT use these transfers as a model for what silent film is like--it would kill the love before it got started. The maddening calliope music for 3 of the 4 films is wretched: it is much better to turn off the sound and play different background music. Indeed, one is just as well off to head over to the Internet Archive and watch them for free--the quality there, poor as it is, is pretty much the same as on these disks.
