Or just see them period. I have not seen the Trial of Mary Dugan but have always wanted to. I keep hoping that TCM will unlock the vault to that soon. I know it still exists and they've uncovered Lady of Chance and Lady of the Night in the last few years, so one can hope.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615900946704794903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-83910956054192041972007-07-17T18:05:00.000-04:002007-07-17T18:05:00.000-04:00Thanks for your commen Shearer1931.I have to say, ...Thanks for your commen Shearer1931.<BR/><BR/>I have to say, while I do love Lady of Chance, I don't think for those not familiar with Norma Shearer, that's it's a good choice for a boxed set. It's not a talkie, but it's not a silent. I haven't heard the section of talking. If it's lost forever, then it would be a silent. I think it should be a stand-alone DVD.<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen The Trial of Mary Dugan. Have you?! That's her first talkie right? I would love to see that.<BR/><BR/>~Raquellw~Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-36444889657130208592007-07-17T13:03:00.000-04:002007-07-17T13:03:00.000-04:00Amen!

She is my all time favorite an I try to educate people on her greatness all of the time. She was the Queen of MGM, why doesn't the film industry remember that! <BR/><BR/>I agree on your boxset recommendations, although I might also suggest Lady of Chance and The Trial of Mary Dugan.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615900946704794903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-36204467764190987262007-07-07T10:48:00.000-04:002007-07-07T10:48:00.000-04:00I agree that Riptide and Strangers May Kiss are gr...I agree that Riptide and Strangers May Kiss are great movies. She and Robert Montgomery were a great duo.<BR/><BR/>I think that it would be possible to create a Norma Shearer - Robert Montgomery set and include those two plus Private Lives, The Divorcee and Their Own Desire. I would buy that!!!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-14334790695967580532007-07-06T18:31:00.000-04:002007-07-06T18:31:00.000-04:00I share your enthusiasm for the singular artistry ...I share your enthusiasm for the singular artistry of Norma Shearer and add my voice to yours in requesting greater DVD representation of her extraordinary film work. <BR/><BR/>I think both <I>Riptide</I> and the magnificent <I>Strangers May Kiss</I> would fit beautifully in either an all-Shearer or a "various artists" Pre-Code set.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope our entreaties are not in vain!Trombonologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780935010435443785noreply@blogger.com
