Suzanne Lloyd interview by John Sinnott
I found this 2005 interview on DVD Talk; maybe I caught it back in the day but I don't recall seeing it before: Silent DVD: Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me. Suzanne Lloyd: Oh, it's my pleasure. I have been waiting for a long time to get these films put out on DVD so it's reall...

Re: Pordenone Silent Film Festival - Origins of Slapstick: Transatlantic Echoes
What a fantastic program, Uli and Steve! I wish that I was able to attend. Is that the part-talkie version of MODERN LOVE being shown? I didn't know that Sig Arno and Kurt Gerron were a comedy team. What a shame Kurt didn't emigrate to the US, he was an amazing performer. For such a heavy man he doe...

Re: A BLITZ ON THE FRITZ (1943) Harry Langdon, Vernon Dent
This is great! I could see the punchline coming a mile away, but very well done.
I had to think of this TV commercial - for Germans to learn better English - under this thread:

Buster Keaton in UK ad for the "Rover Metro"
He probably would've been happier in a Stutz Bearcat (or even a Model T):

Re: SCREEN SNAPSHOTS (1920) Roacoe Arbuckle, Charlie Murray, Sessue Hayakawa
A priceless scene. Sessue Hayakawa somehow appears apprehensive at the notion of accidentally being body-slammed by Roscoe. Besides Hayakawa, was there any dramatic star who could lay claim to appearing with two of Paramount's biggest comedy attractions from two different eras - in Sessue's case, Ro...

WHAT'S MY LINE - OLSEN & JOHNSON (1953)
Pretty funny session thanks to the team's reactions to the questions. Meanwhile the panel guesses three other comedy teams before getting it right.
