    This DVD is part of our Silent Gems Collection; all its films are in the public domain. Only 30% of the Silent Era films survive and virtually all of these have varying degrees of imperfections. We believe that it is better to show to the film lovers a hundred imperfect films now, than to make them wait for decades to see one perfectly restored film.  

    Please click on the link "See other items" on the top right under Seller information to see all films in our Silent Gems Collection.

 
    "Forbidden Paradise" is a drama and romance starring Pola Negri, Rod La Rocque, Adolphe Menjou, Nick De Ruiz, Pauline Starke, Fred Malatesta and others. The events in the film occur in a hypothetical East European kingdom (think "Ruritania"). A young queen engages in personal drama and ignores a dangerous military revolt, risking to lose both her heart and her throne. The film was created by the renowned German director Ernst Lubitsch.
   
PLEASE NOTE:
    IMDB lists this film as a Comedy.
    Silent Era lists this film as a Comedy-Drama.
    They are both wrong. The film is a drama.
    
     By the standards of the average silent film "Forbidden Paradise" has acceptable quality and is perfectly watchable. The facial expressions can be seen clearly and the plot can be followed easily from beginning until end. The film has done better than 70% that are lost forever.
    The movie is accompanied by quality music that greatly enhances the viewing experience. The DVD comes in a slim jewel case and has the cover art exactly as you see it on the photo.
    We value your five-star feedback and will do all we can to earn it. Please contact us if you are not completely satisfied so that we can correct any problem.
    If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
