Image Entertainment DVD just announced


Barrie Maxwell from The Digital Bits reports:
"A future Image release will be a Film Preservation Associates (David Shepard) effort on the D.W. Griffith film True Heart Susie (1919) which will be mastered from the original 35mm nitrate print at the BFI, with score by the Mont Alto Orchestra. It will likely be accompanied by Hoodoo Ann (1916), a film written by Griffith and directed under his supervision. The source material on it is a 35mm fine grain master made from the camera negative. There's no news yet on a specific release date."

BFI are realising a new print of the movie so stay alert for that

I'm a "bit" late, since the DVD is now out of print, but I have to say this is most likely the best double-feature DVD I've ever purchased. Both movies are excellent, as well as the score and print quality. Both Lillian Gish and Mae Marsh were brilliant.
