Men are so weak..MWAAAHAHAHA..HAAAA!!!!

[SirRiehl]

I love it!!

[circethesorceress]

Isn't that Mary Philbin in "The man who laughs," not Baclaclova?

[alexiscrabb]

@circethesorceress Hi. Philbin is the leading woman in the film; she plays Dea, the blind girl who's the real love of Gwynplaine (Veidt). You can see her at 5:53. Baclanova plays Duchess Josiana, the fatal and mundane woman who tries to seduce Gwynplaine.

There are no "vamps" in The Man Who Laughs.

[IsabelDhampir82]

@0dxpx Ellas son ´´vamp´´ del cine, por lo menos algunas, otras fueron actrices de verdad y no solo carne: Musidora y Britte Helm son d otra clase d actrices, no tendria q estar aqui, mezcladas con otras q solo eran sus comtemporaneas.....

Great video tribute Alexis! 5 Stars.

wow the women in these era's were so beautiful and sexy but in an elegant way not like today's version of sexy which means that a woman has to expose more skin in order 2 be sexy

its really fun watching these historic movie clips. 5 stars

[MsDrCaligari]

Musidora and Theda Bara are the coolest.

[VAMPIREBIRDIE]

good stuff!

[franimalistic]

Movies today are so over-sexed... they totally neglect things like the subtle sensuality in an unsolicited brush of the fingers. These ladies knew how to work it! :P

[MoneyBEATSsoul]

Totally. These films have alot more sex appeal than movies of today. A flash of cleavage/ nice legs/seductive eyes/pouty lips. That's all you need. It gets the message across easily and at the same time, the ladies all look very classy. The time period that these girls were living in was so censored and humble compared to today's age of nudity and swearing, however they are ten times sexier than anybody these days. It's all very ironic.

[ArielDevan]

Theda Bara is the original vamp, I love her<333

[KISSMEMYFOOL69]

This video is absolutely amazing! You did an exellent job making it. My favorite part is the beginning because I love Theda Bara. All the other vamp girls are great too but they will never compare to Miss Bara :)

[321arcoiris]

Theda bara is great!! I love Theda bara!!

[nandito2411]

OMG! Olga Baclanova looks like Madonna! They could be twins!! and the girl who is watching her has the face of Cindy Lauper

[antmarkhemingway]

the other girl is blind lol. so she not watching lol. Olga is better than Madonna!

[EmpressJudge13]

I noticed that. It was a little bit eerie, but very cool!

[riverphoenixgurl]

I love you Theda! :)

[antmarkhemingway]

olga baclanova is too hot in this film. her seduction is amazing. she really takes you there. what a wonderful overlooked actress.

[helenofithaca]

Raaaaacy.I thought movies from the black and white era were more disney-esque.

[patriciaoday]

You're joking, right? Only someone unfamiliar with old films could say that. Some of the most passionate films ever made were made in the silent era and early talkie period before the Production Code was enforced in mid 1934.

[Judex]

Ah! Musidora! Thank you for including "Diana Monti" among the vamps.

[Hughman54]

Great clips.  I wish they were identified. Some of these films I'd like to look up and see in their entirety.

[alexiscrabb]

Here are the titles:

1) "A fool there was" 1915, directed by Frank Powell, with Theda Bara;

2) "Judex" 1916, directed by Louis Feuillade with Musidora;

3) "La moglie di Claudio" 1918, directed by Gero Zambuto, with Pina Menichelli;

Che incanto... finalmente un pò di poesia... e finalmente rivedo Pina Menichelli, seppur nella scena del dileggio de "La valigia dei sogni", triste per chi ama l'arte muta. Chiunque tu sia, grazie!

[Comunella89]

stupedno..non ho parole..che bravi questi attori!

[sooshiki]
