The Passing of the Third Floor Back
Double Feature (1918 and 1935)
Quality note: The Passing of the Third Floor Back (1918) was sourced from a transfer we commissioned years ago and unfortunately the tape had two small segments of deterioration, lasting less then 15 seconds. We believe the flaws are so small that they will not detract from your enjoyment of this fine and rare early film, but wished to make you aware of the issue. Thank you for you understanding and remember your satisfaction is guaranteed at Grapevine Video.
