Jack Benny's 10 Longest Laughs
It appears laughs will be scarce this holiday season, so here's a modest remedy. This is a presentation I gave for the Metropolitan Washington Old-Time Radio Club a few months ago over Zoom. Have a listen to the Ten Longest Laughs from Benny's long-running radio show, as clocked by the head of jackb...

8mm Billy Franey ("Too Many Cops" Carnival Films)
Here's one I picked up on eBay last week. It's 3 minutes of flirtatious Billy Franey, but we don't have the genuine title. I'm sure someone's got this on 16mm! Reelcraft? O'Conor? Inquiring minds want to know....

Re: ATLAS FILMS 8MM COLLECTING FOR THE FINANCIALLY IMPAIRED
Thank you very much, Richard, for both the kind words and the identification. And with that, all three of the under-identifieds have been ID'd: 1) A HORSE ON BARNEY (Darmour, 1929) 2) THIS WAY OUT (Arrow-Mirthquake, 1924). Available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80W_leIffEM 3) RESTLESS...

Re: Hal Roach Studios Query
Richard, Regarding the late L&H silents, I was wondering if LIBERTY (1929) was reissued by Film Classics. There are frames from title cards with typical FC lettering and background design, sans MGM trademarks, displayed here: http://www.lordheath.com/menu1_167.html If not from FC, do you know th...

Re: Well blow me down with an anchovy.
After reading early reports that the animosity between Stan and Babe were underplayed and only marginally figured into the plot, I was surprised that the emotional arc of the whole damn film hinged on their mutual antagonism. I fear there may be spoilers ahead, so if you haven't seen it yet and wan...

Re: Well blow me down with an anchovy.
One of the Godfathers and I saw the film Saturday night at the AFI Silver. There's a lot wrong with it. There's a lot right with it. Probably more of the former than the latter, depending on your L&H IQ. It's a film made for a general audience by a bunch of folks who clearly loved L&H, and e...
