Can't remember what was my first silent. Some Lon Chaney movie, most likely.
However, I saw "Torrent" last night for the first time and totally loved it. I didn't know what to expect from a Warner Archive Collection DVD, but it turned out to be of great, very clear print quality 95% of the time. Previously, I had only seen the three Garbo silents that were released as part of her Signature Collection, and now I'm so glad that we're able to watch more of her work from the silent era.
It's incredible (in a good way, of course) that she was only 20 when filmed this, and gave such an amazing, fascinating, sensual, classy performance.
