Back on Bluesky to heap praise on @dcairns.bsky.social 's great essay on Midnight for Criterion www.criterion.com/current/post...

Mitchell Leisen’s marvelously chic and brilliantly constructed screwball classic revolves around a heroine who flounders through a succession of complications but always manages to come out ahead.

The Cinémathèque française is currently running a retrospective of John Stahl. I didn't realize he had such an extensive silent career, almost none of which appears to be available online. Does anyone know about these? Are they as good as his sound films?

@dagscott.bsky.social I'm curious if you know the answer to this. I was under the impression that The Smiling Lieutenant was lost until the 90s, but I just came across this listing at PFA from 1980. Do you know anything about this?
