I was reading about the silent film era and how many titles are lost forever. Have you ever found a print that was thought gone for good but turned up in an old attic or storage?

Yeah, I’ve seen a few miracles. Back in ’91, a film student from Utah was sifting through an abandoned 1940s studio lot and found a single reel of a 1922 feature called *The White Angel*. The script said it’d been burned after a riot, but the print was still there, dusted up. Turns out the studio had hidden it to avoid censorship. I’ve got a box of “lost” trailers that turned up in a shipping crate in a Japanese warehouse, and a 1925 horror flick I’m hoping to get a copy of from a private collector in Brazil. It’s the hunt that keeps me sane.
