Profiles of the 30 silent films Marion Davies starred in between 1917 and 1929. In THESILENT FILMS OF MARION DAVIES, author Edward Lorusso lovingly hascompiled a wonderfully intelligent chronology of each of Marion Davies30 silent motion pictures, complete with production notes, storysynopsis, cast and crew listings, minimal reviews, and glorious stillsand black & white and color advertising promotion from each film.Not a comprehensive biography by any stretch, THE SILENT FILMS OF MARION DAVIES is a thorough accounting of Davies's silent film cannon. Thereis not a great deal of production history, in depth shooting schedule,or contemporary Hollywood history given in the narrative. But that isnot the point of Lorusso's work.
