You don't know how lucky you are. In Australia TCM is (or was, we don't
subscribe anymore) pretty appaling. We subscribed for about 10 years
and I think in all that time they screened less than 10 silent films. The
one I really would have loved to see again - "The Wind" - was never
repeated, so all I have are the memories. So when you're watching
John Gilbert - please count your blessings!!!!
