These are hilarious!!! Please read for a great Friday chuckle! Thanks, Aurora at Once Upon A Screen for this post 🙂
Great choice from “The Wrong Santa Claus!”
In context, the one from “City Lights” is a tear-jerker.
So many clever intertitles here. I think my fave is “I’m looking for a piece of cheese, not a husband.”
Great collection, Aurora. I LOVE this Friday feature.
Love that one too! And so glad you enjoy these image galleries. They’re lots of fun to do!
these are hilarious! I love watching silent movies, and sometimes the intertitles just crack me up, thank you for this!
Glad you liked it! They are hilarious! 🙂
The silent era was a time when words really meant something because they were written rather than spoken and audiences were forced to read and linger on them as opposed to just hear them whiz by their ears.
