A few nights ago, I started looking through this list of films that were produced by Siegmund Lubin, in the vain hope that I'd read some key words or references in a film's title that may lead to a “lost” or unknown film that Cinquevalli or others may be in. I hadn't looked properly before I started to see how many films he'd produced until I'd got to about number 1,000. It suddenly dawned on me that I wasn't even a third of the way through but nevertheless I just kept going. Although many of the films were shorts, it's extraordinary how many films he produced (or at least had his name on). I've made a list of about forty film titles with the year of release that include words such as “clown”, “acrobat”, “circus” and “juggler” and although, where possible, I've looked through the cast lists (though most have very little information), I've not found any of the films (yet!) on YouTube. I did find some interesting titles though, which may be great to watch. They may equally be a bit rubbish but I remain optimistic.
