Description:
The award-winning team of David Gill and Kenneth Brownlow present a definitive and unparalleled look at the history of silent film in America: "Hollywood," narrated by James Mason. This 13-part series celebrates the birth of an industry, the town and people who made it all happen. People who, in a few short years, produced an enourmous range of spectacular, inventive and exciting films. From the arrival of the filmmaking pioneers early at the dawn of a new century, through the outbreak of the first World War; from the rise of romance, to the demise of the Old West; from when comedy was king, until the advent of sound. These are the stars, the scandals, the directors, producers, cameramen, stuntmen and, of course, the films themselves that created the legend we know as "Hollywood."

I am very glad I got this collection, new, when I did!
This set of mini-documentaries and interviews are a treasure that is woefully overlooked in the growing interest in silent film groups.
Oh - to have it in DVD!
The silent star recounting their excitement and memories are infectious. This is a classic work - very well done - and but for the intro music and some graphics, holds it's age .
As many silent film collections that have come forward ... Read More

I wish they would bring the whole series by Kevin Brownlow out on DVD, but since they haven't, I settled for getting the one episode(there are many) I wanted the most. This DVD includes two parts, one on Clara Bow and one on John Gilbert. Both of these great silent stars didn't make it into the sound era. I am fascinated with John Gilbert's story, so I wanted to see this. I've actually seen the entire Hollywood story

I fell in love with this series when it first appeared on PBS. Not only was it an excellent documentary, it gave many viewers their first and, probably, last look at stars from the silent era; most of whom would be dead within the next 5 years. Also since saving film wasn't much a concern back then, many of the clips used have probably deteriorated to dust. My only complaint is that this excellent 11+ hours series isn't released on DVD in America, as yet, and I still have to lug out 13 individual VHS ... Read More

Before there was Ken Burns to do it, there was an extraordinary documentary about silent film. Absolutely riveting in its wonderful arcana, in-person interviews, stock photos and footage, narration by James Mason, and the terrific music by the brilliant Carl Davis, this series is a must-see for anyone who loves film and wants to know where it all started!! There are facts and anecdotes here to amaze, and break the heart as well. Mason's voice-overs are perfect....one minute he's the objective narrator, ... Read More

Having written a school drama project on stuntmen this episode, from what I would call the definitive series on Hollywood and the names that made it famous, is a gold mine of information for the researcher. This episode in particular is filled with sheer pathos and moving accounts from the memories of the great unsung heroes of the silver screen. A crying shame then that there is no dvd release of this valuable series. Many of them involved in the interviews (even the narrator) are now dead. How important ... Read More
