Re: Candid Photo Archive

I know that this website is named "Silentcomedymafia" but most of the candids I have are from sound films. Hope the goombas give me a pass. Here's Joe E. Brown on the set of "The Daring Young Man" (1942): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/robertpollard/JEBO4-thedaringyoungma...

Re: So........would anybody be interested.....

Louie, Before you take the time and effort for a full length book, why not try an article in Classic Images first? Bruce, I certainly thought of that but I don't know if I feel like editing down the information I have AND I am no where near to being done with this thing yet. Getting in to this so l...

Re: So........would anybody be interested.....
