Re: MACK SENNETT COLLECTION VOL 1 Blu-Ray

Up to seven five-star reviews so far, and number seven is from our own Ed Watz!

Thank You Ed, and say, I have a spare print of BLACK OXFORDS I might let you have for $300.

Ted Wells Silent Western Excerpt

Here's about a reel from BORN TO THE SADDLE (1929), a Universal Silent Western starring Ted Wells, Duane Thompson, and featuring Leo White in a supporting role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZlSU7XEh4 Not too many Ted Wells Westerns exist in any form, certainly not the late silent Universals he ...

Re: Billy West King Bee / Billy Whiskers

The only King Bee I recall with a monkey in it is THE BAND MASTER (1917), is it a smaller,organ-grinders type monkey or a chimp? It's literally an organ-grinders monkey in THE BAND MASTER whom Billy brings to a swank party to prove the Organ Grinder is crashing the party. There were scenes in the ki...

Well, we have had much better things to do and it has become so dull and predictable over there at Nitratevile, same nameless or named nincompoops whining about frames missing from THE IMMIGRANT, someone whining about the wi...

Re: REVIEW: CHAPLIN MUTUALS & MACK SENNETT V1

just as The Right Stuff (1983) is essentially a brilliant reworking of another Ford-Wayne film, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). I'm happy that the Sennett set is receiving rave reviews across the Web, but I couldn't help fixate on this reviewers statement and the correlation he sees betwee...

Re: Who or what was an I B C studios?

99% sure. The dailies were pretty thorough in detailing Morgan's coast hopping in 1934. After she shot MARIE GALANTE, she went east for club dates and returned in mid-October specifically to shoot SWEET MUSIC and start her Warners contract. She appeared on Rudy Vallee's radio show - from LA - on No...
