Dear Scott:



Flicker Alley, a small but very good DVD manufacturer, is planning to 

release a restored version of Murnau's PHANTOM (1922) in the near 

future. Here's the URL:



http://www.flickeralley.com/fa_phantom_01.html



Sinister Cinema (www.sinistercinema.com) used to sell a VHS version of 

SCHLOSS VOGELOED (1921), but I can't seem to find it in their catalog 

anymore. You may be able to request it via interlibrary loan, but I 

can't vouch for the quality. As far as I know, it has never been 

released on DVD.



Lastly, you may be insterested to hear that in June Eureka's "Masters 

of Cinema" line (http://www.eurekavideo.co.uk/moc/) is scheduled to 

release a new DVD of the domestic German release version of FAUST, 

which is different from the print that Kino released here and Eureka 

released previously on DVD in the UK. I suspect the transfer will also 

look better than Kino's.



Best,

James Steffen
