Cinevent Notes: MR ROBINSON CRUSOE (1932)
Douglas Fairbanks Sr.’s talkie career in some ways is the real version of the John Gilbert legend, and also once again proves that having plenty of money, your own studio, and all the production control in the world cannot save a career when the public’s tastes change. Five talkies was all it took, ...

Re: SHAKE RATTLE AND ROCK (1956) with Margaret Dumont
Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I did! But my vision included Snitz Edwards, too, and I don't see him in this clip. Jim Snitz would have been great in this, but he was long dead (1937) by then, unlike Clarence Kolb, who was 83 when he made this and would make it to 90. I love it that he plays himsel...

Re: Cinevent Notes: THE SILENT MAN (1917) with William S. Ha
Yeah, that Three Stooges credit always use to baffle me. "What is John Ford's cameraman doing helming this short?" But one must always remember The Cohn Factor. Most of Columbia's top cameramen spent time down in the shorts department, Lucien Ballard shot a number of them in the late 30's...

THE SILENT MAN was William S. Hart’s second film under his new contract with Paramount Pictures following THE NARROW TRAIL. William S. Hart Productions was still contractually forced to have the words “supervised by Thomas H. Ince” in the opening titles, even though Ince had nothing to do with the p...

Cinevent Notes: THE ROAD TO MANDALAY (1926)
THE ROAD TO MANDALAY was considered a lost Chaney film for years before a 9.5mm print of a French four-reel cutdown version surfaced in the 1980’s and was blown up to 16mm. Ironically, this 9.5mm version was a pirated copy made for the collector market in the 1930’s, along with several other Chaney ...

Re: FLICKERS
With the recent passing of Bob Hoskins, I'm going to have to re-watch FLICKERS. There's six episodes, but it's worth every minute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyElBk-f2Q4 Exactly my thoughts today Mr. Migliore, a long-time favorite of mine, it's still the finest thing Roy Clarke ever wrote (alon...

Cinevent Notes: CAMPUS KNIGHTS (1929)
Party Animal Earl Hastings (Raymond McKee) is frequently mistaken for his identical twin brother Ezra, who, of course, is a meek professor at an all-girls college, and of course, some of Earl’s antics, especially his flirtations with various college females, get him mistaken for the innocent Ezra an...
