Re: Becoming Mr. Laurel
It's amazing that "Babes In Toyland" , of all films, became the touchstone for the rift between Roach and Laurel since that work became one of the most enchanting of all the Boys films. What is interesting about that movie is that it seems to harken back to the old English tradition of the...

Re: MPW review of Larry Semon's THE BAKERY (1921)
Is there ever a rhyme or reason for pie throwing antics?
I would submit there is but who knew PETA was writing
