This DVD is part of our Silent Gems Collection; all its films are in the public domain. Only 30% of the Silent Era films survive and virtually all of these have varying degrees of imperfections. We believe that it is better to show to the film lovers a hundred imperfect films now, than to make them wait for decades to see one perfectly restored film. Please click on the link "See other items" on the top right under Seller information to see all films in our Silent Gems Collection. "The Gown of Destiny" is a war drama starring Alma Rubens, Herrera Tejedde, Allan Sears, Lillian West, Bliss Chevalier, J. Barney Sherry, Frederick Vroom and others. The events in the film occur during World War I. A Frenchman is denied the chance to fight for his country as a soldier, but still makes an impact in the war effort. Moving Picture World from Jan-Mar 1918 wrote: "Lynn F. Reynolds has directed "The Gown of Destiny" with excellent results. There are several effective battle scenes, and the atmosphere of the French town is correctly maintained. The picture is also expertly acted. Herrera Tejedde fits the character of Andre at all points, and Alma Rubens and Allan Sears make an interesting pair of lovers". By the standards of the average silent film "The Gown of Destiny" has a good quality and is perfectly watchable. The facial expressions can be seen clearly. Unfortunately a few scenes bear the signs of some, mostly light, nitrate damage. Still, the film has done better than 70% that are lost forever. The movie is accompanied by quality music that greatly enhances the viewing experience. The DVD comes in a slim jewel case and has the cover art exactly as you see it on the photo.
