Oscar-nominated Cinematography in a lost film., 31 July 2001
Author: Arne Andersen (aandersen@landmarkcollege.org) from Putney, VT
This Ronald Colman - Vilma Banky treat boasted Oscar-nominated Cinematography by George Barnes. Unfortunately the film is among the lost. No negative or print materials are known to survive. The film is one of three lost films nominated in this category, the highest number for a category to date.

5 reels found, 10 August 2006
Author: jack-gardner from United States
I can't really give this a rating as I have not seen it but the first five reels of this eleven reel feature were found in the George Eastman House Archives.
Hopefully somewhere someday reels 6 through 11 will turn up as well.
So little of Vilma Banky's work survives today - it's a great pity as she was a very beautiful and moving silent screen actress.
This is also an early academy award nominee - it's a shame that even the films that were highly respected in their day became victims of time and decay . . .
This is not the time or the place to start a forum on film preservation, but it is important for us to preserve these early works of cinema, and even though the film is not complete, I hope that someone will preserve what's left of it and allow the general public access to study it.
