Silent films and the silent era, same as the birdsite
THE CAT AND THE CANARY, a delightful old dark house mystery, included plenty of thrills. Tully Marshall falls victim to the classic murder mansion blunder-- never ever hesitate to say the name of the probable suspect!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Reid was on the cusp of superstardom, which he achieved as the similarly stabby Don Jose in Cecil B. DeMille's 1915 version of CARMEN, so AT DAWN is not entirely casting against type.

They want us to go back to theaters but do they offer us even one super-epic with a cast of Hungarians in beaded headdresses in dreams within dreams within dreams? They do not.

Here's Cain in MALE AND FEMALE (1919) making eyes at Julia Fay, his fiancee's personal maid (and she returns with interest)

Robert Cain fancies his odds in KIDNAPPED (1917).

Cain was never a major star but had an excellent run playing cads and scoundrels. Alan Breck was, of course, a rogue, which is is just the other side of the same coin.
