Clara Bow in Wings, 1927

The very sexy, “Vampire Dance”, in “The Abyss/ Afgrunden”, ( “Woman Always Pays” ), a 1910 Danish film starring Asta Neilsen as a woman who falls for a carnival dance lothario, shunning the good man who wants to marry her, and running away with the passionate lover who treats her progressively worse, and worse. Which, of course, leads to her ruin and her ultimate tragedy.

Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in Lucky Star  (Frank Borzage, 1929)

A simple, heartfelt story of love and redemption among poor mountain folk during and after World War I, it’s sensitively directed and perfectly photographed (by Chester A. Lyons). If you’re leery of silent films, this is a good one to start with. The acting is naturalistic and no one is tied to railroad tracks or attacked by a mustachioed villain. Definitely worth seeing.
