Re: REVIEW: CHAPLIN MUTUALS & MACK SENNETT V1
So it has been a couple months now since the release of these two comedy sets. Is there any consensus yet on Flicker Alley's marketing ploy of linking Gierucki's Sennett with Shepard's Chaplin? Are consumers ordering both sets in tandem, thinking that one must go with the other? That was the mindse...

Re: THE PILGRIM / First National alternate versions
Richard M Roberts So, is that "Bound for Texas" song one of the great examples of Chaplin not being brilliant? Does it now have to endlessly ruin any version of THE PILGRIM shown due to Family decree? That and the "Swing, little girl, swing" title song opening THE CIRCUS. Pasqua...

Re: THE PILGRIM / First National alternate versions
Posted yesterday by Joao Antônio Franz dos Santos, with thanks to Chris Seguin for forwarding the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE0s-gTabHI Uli I have another silent print that I think is different than both of these. So, is that "Bound for Texas" song one of the great examples of...

Re: Warner's All-Star Musicals on sale
It's called Amazon. Big department store on the Web. Right next door to where the minions of the CIA spy on all of us to learn our buying habits. Now they're going to find out I am Patriotic, dammit! Lazy. New rule from the Godfathers, no adverting online specials without applying the link. We has ...

Re: Warner's All-Star Musicals on sale
Amazon Deal of the Day: 3 DVD collection of THIS IS THE ARMY (43), THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS (43) and HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN (44) going for $10 bucks. That's 75% off. Even if you don't care for all of these films (I get rather bored with Berlin's soldier show), it's still worth it. Well now, don't bother t...

Re: Unidentified monty banks and sid smith
That's Sid Smith allright, and Bill Blaisdell playing the Cop, it's early 20's Monty Banks too before he got a little stockier, will look into this, as I 'm sure Steve will too.

Re: MACK SENNETT COLLECTION VOL 1 Blu-Ray
I'm almost embarrassed to admit this -- but only two years ago I sold a 16mm print of BERTH MARKS on eBay for $656. It was a common Blackhawk sound print with their remade titles. No MGM credits, not the Governor TV print, not the now-scarce silent version -- it was nothing special. You could tell ...

Re: MACK SENNETT COLLECTION VOL 1 Blu-Ray
Richard M Roberts I have a spare print of BLACK OXFORDS I might let you have for $300. Unless you're joking, is that the average price for a 16mm silent comedy two-reeler print? Pasquale I'm joking, but in the case of a reasonably rare print, and two nutjobs on ebay determined to get it, you used t...
