Earlier this year, Turner Classic Movies broadcast a brand new Kino Lorber restoration of the 1927 film Annie Laurie. It was thought to be lost. There were actually DVDs floating around, but they were hard to get a hold of, and these DVDs were mastered from a low quality 16mm print of the film. The new Kino Lorber restoration is mastered from a 4K scan of a 35mm print of the film which was being held by the Library of Congress, and the Technicolor sequence at the end of Annie Laurie has been properly restored.
>Produced at the creative apex of the silent era, Annie Laurie (1927) was MGM's grand-scale dramatization of the conflicts between warring clans in the 17th-century Scottish highlands. Lillian Gish stars as the daughter of a diplomat who seeks to negotiate peace between the haughty and politically-connected Campbells, and the more rough-hewn MacDonalds, led by the dashing Norman Kerry. When Annie discovers that the Campbells' chieftain is plotting to derail a treaty and justify a brutal attack upon the MacDonalds (in what would become known as the Massacre of Glencoe), she must sprint to a snowy mountaintop to light a warning signal. This 4K restoration by the Library of Congress features an extraordinary orchestral score by Robert Israel (in 5.1 Stereo Surround), and climaxes with a beautifully preserved Technicolor sequence.Someone uploaded the TCM broadcast on OK.ru. You can view the movie there, or buy the blu-ray from Kino Lorber.
