Has anyone here ever seen this...a 200' silent reel without any subtitles? I have a 200' color (now horribly pink)/silent standard 8 reel of "Cowboy" (Glenn Ford, Jack Lemmon), released by Columbia Pictures Home Movies that has not one subtitle in it. Its just a bunch of random western scenes from the film and I don't know what is going on there. It does have the title of the movie at the beginning though.

I am fairly sure most of my silents have no subtitles. I think that's a mistake, they should have put subtitles when there's dialogue

I have never seen that before. Most unusual.

Vidar, so you're saying that you DO have several silent reels without any subtitles? I've only encountered it twice so far. A 50' reel of "The Blob" (released by Hollywood Home Movies) and this one. I could expect that with the budget release of "The Blob" but expected more from this title, as the feature film was released in the 1950's.

I am fairly certain most of my 200' silents are without subtitles. I do not remember which, think it was a cartoon called Hawaiian Aye Aye. Nothing is subtitled and not very funny. Got the sound version now and it gets the jokes through
