Yes. TCM shows silent movies most Sunday nights at 9 pm PST. "Where Are My Children?" is newly restored, as are a good many of the TCM silents. Nice to see Ted Turner putting his money to good use!
I'm starting to find a certain affinity between silent movies and opera. Maybe it's the mix of music, high-style acting and improbable plots...
