Help!

Answer
Dear Susan,
Thank you for asking such an interesting question. If you can give me some specific details, I will try to help you with the answer. What is needed is the name of someone in the cast, or the name of someone in the production credits. I am sorry but your brief description sounds like quite a few films. My area of expertise is in classic films from the silent era.

For your research, I might suggest that you post your question on  

SILENT GOOGLE GROUP SITE

Another good source to look for information about old films is to go through this web site of old newspapers:

NEWSPAPERARCHIVE

If you have any clue about who was in the film, it is quite easy to look up an actor's list of movies and find the one you mention by going into the:

INTERNET MOVIE DATA BASE

http://www.imdb.com

Best of luck to you with your research. Please let me know if you find out anything more specific, and perhaps I can shed more light on this for you.

Sincerely,
David W. Menefee
