Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell

The seventh video in a collection of tributes to classic screen teams.Before screen teams such as Bogart and Bacall and Loy and Powell, there was Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. Hugely popular during the late silent years and early talkies, they made 12 films together. They were such a popular screen team during this time that many of their fans assumed they were married. One of their films, Street Angel (1928) is considered a lost film, even though it was one of Fox Studios most popular late silent films.

Where is this song from? My mind is drawing a blank and I know it is on the tip of my tongue. Great video btw.

It's the theme from The Cider House Rules- but I know they've re-used it in a few movie trailers over the years too. Thanks for watching!

What a GREAT montage! They WERE a great movie couple, weren't they? Great chemistry can only come from great actors or good friends, and they were probably both! Too bad most people will never watch a black & white AND a silent movie...They read B&W books with no pictures....WHAT is the difference? Lack of imagination?

What a lovely tribute. For me they'll always be "Chico and Diane"--(from Seventh Heaven)--truly they were magic together.

I'm not a stranger to Janet Gaynor - I saw her many times starring in old movies during the early days of TV. Charles Farrell's face struck a chord of familiarity, but I could place him until I realized he was the same Charles Farrell who played Vernon Albright, Gale Storm's dad, on countless episodes of My Little Margie in the 50's. Good Find, Bubblewrap1988, and thanks for posting this.

at 1:37 and a few seconds further, she has an expression that is very similar to that of Audrey Tatou's Amélie. don't you think? :) truly inspiring to watch this. Sunshine is one of the absolutely greatest movies I've ever seen. it's not "touchy", it's just like it's really happening for real when you watch it. name one movie that does the same to you!
