Criterion Collection Year 1928 Video Release 2012 08 28 Studio RLJ Entertainment Genre Comedy MPAA Rating Not Rated Color Color/Black and White Runtime 69 Animated Live Action Full Synopsis The early Hollywood gem LONESOME is the creation of a little known but audacious and one of a kind auteur, Paul Fejos a filmmaker/explorer/anthropologist/doctor! , who bridged the gap between the silent and sound eras. Fejos pulled out all the stops for this lovely New York City symphony set in antic Coney Island during the Fourth of July weekend employing color tinting, superimposition effects, experimental editing, and a roving camera plus three dialogue scenes, added because of the craze for talkies . For years, LONESOME has been a rare treat for festival and cinematheque audiences; it's only now coming to home video. Rarer still are the two other Fejos films included in this release The Last Performance featuring a new score by Donald Sosin and a reconstruction of the previously incomplete sound version of Broadway, in its time the most expensive film ever produced at Universal. Director Paul Fejos Cast Paul Fejos; Barbara Kent; Glenn Tryon; Fay Holderness; Gusztav Partos; Eddie Phillips; Andy Devine
