I remember when PBS ran silents in the early 70s..I was 9 or 10 at the time and loved them, especially this version of The Unholy Three. Anyone have it? The soundtrack for this is sensational..probably composed around the time I watched this in the 70s..music sounds like it's trying to emulate music of that time, but production sounded more contemporary..still sensational though!
