splash  This page presents an annotated, worldwide bibliography of reviews, articles and other published material related to the 1925 film The Street of Forgotten Men (link to LBS filmography page). This American film includes Louise Brooks in an uncredited role of an unnamed moll (a gangster’s girlfriend). Under its American title, documented screenings of the film took place in Australia, Canada, China, England, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jamaica, New Zealand and Scotland. Elsewhere, this motion picture was known to have been shown under other-language titles including Die Strasse des Grauens (Austria); O mendigo elegante (Brazil); La calle del olvido (Chile); Ulice zapomenutých mužu (Czechoslovakia); De Straat der Ellendigen (Dutch East Indies); De Straat der verlaten Wezens (Dutch Guiana); L’école des mendiants (France); Le roi des mendiants (France); La rue des hommes perdus (France); Die Strake des Grauens (Germany); Konungur Betlaranna (Iceland); 或る乞食の話 (Japan); La calle del olvido (Mexico); Vidas Perdidas (Portugal); Улица забытых людей (Soviet Union); La calle del olvido (Spain); and Skuggornas barn (Sweden).

As research is ongoing, this page is a work in progress. It is understood that any given citation comes from an American source, unless otherwise noted. The intention of this bibliography is to be both comprehensive and useful. Most citations represent a substantial review or article. Capsule reviews, or significant shorter pieces — usually a paragraph or two in length — are so noted. Entries are arranged chronologically. Critical commentary regarding Brooks, or the film as a whole (excerpted from the material cited) is given as annotations. Some citations link to the material noted: some of these links reside on the Louise Brooks Society, while others reside elsewhere on the web.

Much can be gleamed from a bibliography such as this. Besides what critics thought of the film, one can follow the path of the film’s distribution — where it showed and when; sometimes, for example, the exhibition record might reveal if the film was shown before its official release date. As well, this bibliography shows which critics at which newspapers and magazines reviewed films. History, here, is in the details.

An * indicates that a copy of this citation is held in the archives of the LBS. This annotated bibliography has been compiled by Thomas Gladysz, and was last updated in October 2015. [Help wanted: If you know of additional citations, can provide further information on entries noted on this page, or can provide copies of citations not marked with an * but which are known to exist, please contact the LBS. The LBS would like to acquire material on the screening of this film in Alaska and Hawaii, as well as in Latin America, eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Asia.]

Mr. Brennon and I fell to talk in a corner of the living room and the matter of films came up. I jokingly said I was a veteran actor — two films. He laughed and said, “In that case you may as well be in my new one with Percy Marmont as star. It’s going to be called The Street of Forgotten Men. ‘ I said, ‘That’s me, Mr Brenoan. Forgotten.” Cocktail party-type feeble jokes. But I was in it and played a bum.” – mention in syndicated column in Newark, Ohio newspaper
