I've been watching (and in some cases re-watching) Hitchcock's silent films, and as anyone who's seen them can testify, the surviving prints are pretty much in terrible condition. The BFI is currently running a fundraising campaign to raise money to restore the following nine films:
The Pleasure Garden
The Lodger
The Ring
Downhill
Easy Virtue
The Farmers Wife
Champagne
The Manxman
Blackmail
The image above is from Blackmail. Check out the campaign by clicking on the banner on the side of this blog.
