Up the Ladder (1925)

This romantic drama, directed by Edward Sloman, stars Virginia Valli and Forrest Stanley, with Margaret Livingston, Holmes Herbert, George Fawcett, Priscilla Moran, William V. Mong and Lydia Yeamans Titus.

Forrest Stanley invents television and Virginia Valli loves him all the more for it.

This DVD-R edition was originally mastered for release on VHS videotape in 2002 from a fair to good 16mm reduction print. The source material shows persistent dust, speckling, emulsion scuffing and chipping, vertical scratches, visible splices, and other print flaws.

The film is accompanied by a music score compiled from abruptly edited preexisting low-fidelity recordings (LP pops and crackles included gratis).

Supplemental material includes a Ribticklers short comedy from an 8mm print accompanied by preexisting low-fidelity recordings annoyingly reprocessed for pseudo stereo. This is a comedy?

This is our recommended home video edition of the film since it is the only one we know of.
