They could all have been so easily lost forever and ever, like, what, 80 or 90% of all silent films that were every made? *sigh*Beth S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-6809418632951395512012-02-20T12:21:31.234-08:002012-02-20T12:21:31.234-08:00Thanks, Dean.

At least we know there's a way to see that, but I don't know if there is any way we will ever see these. I have read the missing sections in the screenplay and it's great stuff, including two escapes. Some of the best moments in the movie are on these missing reels.John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-69366503755631483362012-02-19T19:12:20.547-08:002012-02-19T19:12:20.547-08:00Thanks for sharing.

It is a bummer that we may never get to see parts 3 and 4 of Terror Island; the description of these missing reels on the DVD explanatory cards is pretty sparse.Joe M.
