Geraldine Farrar filmography
Only five of Geraldine Farrar's 15 movies survive and only four can be seen. Three complete films sits in storage. and two more have remnants in archives.
The ones that do exist are now difficult to find, but I don't have to bend heaven and Earth to get them--they are on you tube, so I am working to download and save them to make my own dvds.
