MAN and WIFE, one of the early Norma Shearer movies, is said to have been released 100 years ago on this day... The working title for MAN and WIFE appears to have been entitled "When the Cows Come Home", and though little in the way of production stills of the 1923 movie exist, the flammable film is said to have survived as a nitrate copy at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Conversely, another Shearer release - THE Tower of Lies - seems to have yielded its share of surviving stills, but the 1925 movie itself is listed as lost thanks to the M-G-M vault fire of 1965. (The studio's stills were fortunately housed in a separate area.)

MAN and WIFE, one of the early Norma Shearer movies, is said to have been released 100 years ago on this day... THE DEVIL'S PARTNER, one of the early Norma Shearer movies, is said to have been released 100 years ago sometime this month... By most accounts, Norma Shearer was athletic, and given her tremendous drive to succeed in Hollywood, I can easily picture her roughing stobs and such in the woodsy setting of the film with the mostly male cast/crew without complaint.

One-hundred years ago on this day Norma Shearer had much to bask in since she was supporting John Gilbert in "THE WOLF MAN!" at the cinema as the Baltimore Sun declared her a "STAR" and announced her lead in BROKEN BARRIERS which was in production at the time... Unfortunately, both "THE WOLF MAN!" and BROKEN BARRIERS are currently listed as lost.

Though Norma Shearer grew up in Montreal, the following movie was the only Canadian film to feature the soon-to-be MGM actress: "Blue Water" is said to have been released a hundred years ago on this day in Canada. Unfortunately, like many of the Norma Shearer silents, it is listed as lost.
