cool community going online. I cannot recommend them enough. Go to legionem.com for more information.

Hi, everybody. Kevin Brownlow is a household name if your household happens to include serious

film buffs and silent movie aficionados. I was in my teens when his book

The Parades Gone By came out and received widespread acclaim. It was by any measure a game changer

for me and countless other readers. Since then, Kevin has written other essential books,

produced unforgettable documentaries, and restored countless classic films.

That's why the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented him with an Oscar in 2011.

Unprecedented, but well-deserved recognition for a film scholar.

Jesse and I were honored to spend some time with him during a recent trip to Los Angeles from his native England.

Hi, I'm Leonard Malton.

And I'm Jesse Malton.

You're listening to Malton on movies, and our guest today is the esteemed, and I can now say, Oscar-winning film historian

and filmmaker and author Kevin Brownlow, who is visiting Hollywood, and we're very happy

to have him here. Welcome, Kevin. Thank you very much. It's a treat to have you here. You've been here for the TCM

Classic Film Festival this past weekend as we're recording this. And did you have a good time?

Very good indeed. What did you see that you didn't expect to, that pleased you?

That's a fascinating question.
