Yin of The Crowd. Looks like today's independent movies. May have provided inspiration for Before Sunrise, La Science des Rêves etc. I like very much.

This movie is pure joy. Sweet and unabashedly romantic. A city symphony. A master class in visual storytelling. A film whose creativity and imagination are delightfully evident in every frame. A film which reminds me why I've always wanted to make films.

The editing and experimentation that comes with a simply delightful story is reminiscent of Muranu's films (ex. Sunrise). Definitely a silent that deserves more attention!

The dialogue in Paul Fejos' semi-silent LONESOME may seem cheesy by today's standards, but this long unavailable early sound era triumph about two single working stiffs who find each other for one glorious night in New York, is a swooningly romantic masterpiece. From the gorgeous color elements to the early sound scenes retooled for audiences demanding sound, this experimental mix of styles hits the spot.

A charming little film of great warmth and energy, with some fine performances from Barbara Kent and Glenn Tryon. The film might be too energetic, though, it gets borderline frantic at times -- was Coney Island really that crazy?

    From everything I've seen, Coney Island really WAS that crazy (with floors that moved all around, knocking people over; people were much more carefree about the "thrill rides" of the times).

    I didn't mean the rides as such, I meant the total blow-out crowds with all the confetti and what seems like thousands of people all frantically dancing and moving around en masse, like Times Square on New Year's Eve -- was Coney Island really as crazy as that?

I beautiful story and great piece of early cinema thats finally been unearthed. Unfortunatly, the version I saw had some really crappy redone soundtrack that sounded like a guitar going through garageband, so I had tp supply my own. It even played over the quick dialogue parts. I'll be very pleased to pick up the big Fejos-lovin' Criterion set though

This exhilarating silent film shifts suddenly into a talking picture for only about 30 seconds, and you're so wrapped up in these characters you almost want to cry. How lucky are we to have this unsung masterpiece back in circulation. Don't miss this.

Just read about this in the Notebook, playing in LA at the TCM fest... sounds like a killer.

So glad I finally found a copy of this one! This is only 70 minutes but I will never forget any second of it. I don't know much about Fejos works but I'll try to watch more of his stuff very soon. Late 20's cinema always will be my favorite era and this is one of the greatest films of the period. Fantastic movie! 5 stars easily.
