High Plains Drifter At dawn a lone rider, dressed in dusty black, urges his mount at a slow gallop over a flat, endless alkali plain. He rides tall, his eyes intent upon the horizon and a distant town in the frontier Southwest of the 1870's. By noon he approaches the town, pauses at an overgrown graveyard; his green eyes narrow at the sign: LAGO. The rider is tall, lean of visage and body, bearded from a long ride, and his flat-crowned hat, tilted forward, casts a shadow across his face. He is The Stranger and his mission in Lago is a grim one. The Stranger has come to Lago, made a bargain, and turned it into Hell...

Cyrano De Bergerac The most beloved of all love stories! Edmond Rostand's play "Cyrano de Bergerac" was a triumph from the moment of its premiere on December 28, 1897. It has become the most popular play of the modern French theater, and Cyrano, despite an ugly visage dominated by an enormous nose, has become a world-beloved symbol of generosity, magnanimity of spirit and beauty of soul. In adapting "Cyrano de Bergerac" to the silent cinema, director Augusto Genina and scenarist Mario Camerini retained the beloved poetic language of Rostand's original work. The grandeur of costume, setting and action is captured not only in impressive staging and sensitive performances but also through the filmmakers' bold decision to present almost the entire work in the highly stylized and beautiful Pathe Stencil Color process. Three years were devoted to the by-hand coloring of "Cyrano de Bergerac," so that this 1922 film was not fully released until the Fall of 1925! With this beautiful release, this rarely-seen silent classic can take its place with the all-time greats!
