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: MACK SENNETT COLLECTION COMMENTARY TRACKS and ERRATA

Hey, how did I end up doing more the rest of the gang? Lazy Pikers! RICHARD M ROBERTS (and if I'd have known GALLOPING BUNGALOWS was going wanting, I'd have done one for that too, it's one of the best Sennetts Del Lord ever did) Hello Mr Roberts, I am finally posting :) I would be interested in any...

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...

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

Was Morgan's number for that film shot in New York? RICHARD M ROBERTS No. L.A. The start of her short-lived contract with Warners Are you positive? Because it sounds like Morgan was still on the East Coast doing Radio and Warners shot her audition there. Vallee was still in New York until just befo...

Re: YOO-HOO (1932)

I admit it. I enjoy making Ginsburg out to be a cold-hearted banker with no sense of humor. But why do those fellas always seem to end up at comedy shops? Schlesinger Productions had the same fate befall it when Leon retired and handed the reins over to Warners. What I find even more interesting is...

Another Classic imd(um)b blunder.....

This one’s a doozy, one of the “experts” over at imd(um)b apparently thinks independent film producer C. C. Burr was a woman: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0122991/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 I give you the imdb bio: C.C. Burr (1891–1956) Producer | Miscellaneous Crew | Director C.C. Burr was born on January 30, ...

Re: YOO-HOO (1932)

They had to find work somewhere after Roach foolishly allowed Ginsberg too much autonomy at cutting the fat from his studio. Whoever was running Universal's shorts dept at the time was wise to snatch this talent up. Yeah, but sadly, despite all of the Roach talent, I've never seen any of these Warr...
