REMODELING HER HUSBAND (1920): A lost Gish sisters treasure

This post is written in conjunction with the Gish Sisters Blogathon hosted by The Motion Pictures and Movies, Silently.

For my previous post about Dorothy and Lillian Gish, see Conservatism in Revolution: The Gish sisters in D. W. Griffith's ORPHANS OF THE STORM (1921). For more about silent movies in general, check out The Joys of Silent Film, a guide for newbies to the medium.

Sisters Dorothy and Lillian Gish had been working with famed movie legend D. W. Griffith for many years before he handed over the directorial reigns to Lillian for REMODELING HER HUSBAND (1920).
"Having worked in almost all the branches of motion pictures, I still felt that there was one thing I should like to do before I could feel that I really understood the medium: I wanted to direct." (Lillian Gish)

Goodbye, Summer - Hello, September!

Happy September, everybody! Alas, summer has gone and autumn is upon us. Actually, fall is my favorite season, so I'm not exactly sad that the wretched days of Virginia humidity are behind us. But I am bummed that there will be no more Summer Under the Stars on TCM until next year.


Thank you to Turner Classic Movies for another great year of stars - it was nice to see some of the old familiar faces, while also being introduced to some new friends. SUTS is a great way to meet new actors and expand one's movie-watching experience.

I would like to thank Michael at ScribeHard on Film and Jill at Sittin' on a Backyard Fence for hosting the Summer Under the Stars Blogathon again this year. There were so many great entries from across the blogosphere. A big thank you to those who read along and commented - our followers are as much participants in these events as are the hosts and writers. I look forward to doing this again next year!
