No, not Mel Brooks' hilarious "Silent Movie."
This one:
(CBS News) From Points West this morning, Lee Cowan has a sneak preview of a SILENT movie that's making a lot of noise. You might think the idea that silence if golden seems totally out of place in the world of modern filmmaking. But no!
It was Hollywood's infancy - when just a gesture or a glance was enough to light up the silver screen - a time, as Gloria Swanson once famously quipped in "Sunset Boulevard," when stars "had faces."
"You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big."
"I AM big. It's the PICTURES that got small."
But Norma Desmond might have felt right at home at THIS premiere last week. The film getting all the attention was a quirky, against-the-odds project entitled "The Artist."
Not only is it in black and white - but it's wordless, as in SILENT.
