The Media History Digital Library, a 'swonderful site if there ever was one (and one which I have spent hours and hours going through) celebrates the anniversary of the release of Pandora's Box (1929), the classic G.W. Pabst directed film starring Louise Brooks. The film debuted in Berlin. Here is what their Facebook page said said:
"Today marks the anniversary of the release of G.W. Pabst's Pandora's Box (1929). Even though the film starred American actress Louise Brooks, it did not have a mainstream release in the United States, but the British journal Close-Up did a full spread on the film: http://archive.org/stream/
Be sure and flip through the pages linked to for more pictures and articles. Close-Up had a great deal of interest and a good deal of affection for Brooks (though they would never admit the latter).
