Yeah, Brooks made a Fields’ movie directed by her husband Eddie Sutherland. Totally lost.
She also made a movie with John Wayne in the 30s - very low budget and she looks totally different.
Well, “It’s the Old Army Game” with Fields and Brooks does exist. I’ve seen it. But I seem to recall Brooks’ role isn’t very big. My memory is pretty cloudy of it, though. The only other Fields’ Paramount silent I know definately exists is “Running Wild,” which Paramount even officially released on video in the 1980s. That one had Mary Brian in it as the ingenue. She was still around at the time, occasionally giving interviews and attending a few screenings/festivals.
The John Wayne “Three Mesquiteers” film with Brooks has been beautifully restored and available on a dvd from Olive Films. I was stunned at the sharpness of the print. I didn’t realize there were such pristine original elements available of such old Republic Pictures product.
