I'm curious too, but it is possible...without being a century old, that is. As I understand it, the remaining positive print and preprint elements were lost in a fire only as late as 1967. Right. If I’m not mistaken, Everson saw it—in the ‘50s, maybe? (I may be misremembering and he saw it earlier.) I probably shouldn’t have come off as so sarcastic; it’s just that there, for years and years, have been people who have reported seeing it and then, when pressed for details, just say that it was scary or that Chaney walked like Groucho Marx (the latter detail having appeared in contemporaneous reviews). But maybe koskiewicz means he saw the TCM restoration? koskiewicz left active military service in 1971. So if the movie was destroyed in 1967 then he might have seen it. Or as you put it he could have seen the TCM restoration. |
