The Black Pirate. This 1926 swashbuckling adventure movie, starring Douglas Fairbanks, was shot on two-strip Technicolor (rather than the more advanced and lush three-strip process that came later). It will be presented with two music tracks: the original 1926 orchestral score by Mortimer Wilson, conducted by Robert Israel; and a BD-exclusive organ score by Lee Erwin.
Special features include:
- Audio commentary by film historian Rudy Behlmer
- 19 Minutes of outtakes with commentary by Rudy Behlmer
- 30 Minutes of previously unreleased outtakes (BD-exclusive)
- Black & white "talkie" adaptation (BD-exclusive)
- Photo gallery (BD-exclusive)
