Today, my beloved Buster Keaton; when he was not breaking his bones, he could be this elegant and beautiful.

Today’s Google Doodle honors Myrtle Gonzalez (1891–1918), Mexican American silent film actress born in Los Angeles in 1891. Here’s the promo for her film “The Greater Law,” which was filmed in the snow of Truckee, California.
To quote the San Pedro Daily Pilot (1917), the director took the actors “high up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the dead of winter and there photographed a series of thrilling episodes while the players waded knee-deep in snow. Some truly wonderful photographic effects were secured. Vistas of great mountain peaks, backing broad expanses of snow, the landscape flecked with evergreens and shrubbery, constitute somewhat that will equal in every way the beauties of the best ‘travel pictures’ specialists ever created for the screen.”

As many of you probably know, I am a huge fan of silent films. I could not just pass on this magnificent 4k version of one of the most iconic horror films of the silent era, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film turned 100 years old in 2020, can you believe it? I feel beyond grateful that we still get to enjoy this masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema today! This version includes a small booklet with facts about the film, behind the scenes, how it was filmed, information on expressionist cinema, and so on. It's by far worth every penny.
