The Great White Silence (1924)

#the great white silence #robert falcon scott #polar exploration #my screencaps #documentary film #1920s films #unlike South 1919 I read accounts of the expedition before watching this #(specifically cherry-garrard’s Worst Journey in the World)#and the film did not capture the narrative’s feeling for me #obviously you can’t compress 600 pages into a single film #but the goofy 20s intertitles in the first half of this felt so morbid knowing what would happen to scott #polar

The Airship "Norge's" Flight Over the Arctic Ocean (1926)

#polar exploration #roald amundsen #lincoln ellsworth #norge expedition #my screencaps #1920s films #polar #this was good quality & airships are incredible but I mostly enjoyed this to find out that the pilot who Amundsen spends 100 pages of #his own autobiography bitching about #(who Amundsen later died over the Arctic trying to rescue when he crashed his next airship)#was a really weaselly-looking fellow #goddamn it I wrote the year wrong and this got notes. sorry amundsen

What I love about the Becoming Dracula books is the authors like to discuss the unknowns of Bela's career and life

Like this story, about how someone who knew Lugosi and saw his personal scrapbooks swore he saw an image from the Lon Chaney film He Who Gets Slapped in a scrapbook about Bela's career:

And here's photos of the scene where Sheffield believed that's Lugosi as an extra in the background (in the front row of the background, 2nd from the left)

I can kinda see how the first image looks like Bela, but then in the second photo it doesn't look like him at all.

The film is on youtube and the scene starts at around the 6:30 mark. I circled who Sheffield was convinced is Lugosi:

And after watching it I'll admit at some angles it does look a lot like him, then he'll turn his head and it won't look like him at all so...dun dun dun unsolved mysteries I guess lol

#bela lugosi #becoming dracula #mysteries! i love it this man had so many unknowns about his life #early hollywood #1920s films
