Fred Gwynne repeated the role of the cab driver in the 1972 HALLMARK HALL OF FAME version with Jimmy Stewart and Helen Hayes, he must have liked the part, it is a good one, one good scene at the end and a terrific speech to boot.
This is a real find Rob, thanks for posting.

LOVE A LA MODE (1930) Bernard Granville, Kathryn McGuire
Here's evidence that Jack White could produce just as leaden and painful an early talkie as either Mack Sennett or Al Christie could. Released by Educational November 2, 1930, directed by Stephen Roberts, and featuring "Broadway Legend" Bernard "Bunny" Granville (well, he was Bon...

Re: LIVING A RAGTIME LIFE (1992) Max Morath
William, I think you meant, "Good Show Max", I merely put it up on the mafia. And I'm proud to say I have a copy of that Hirschfeld drawing autographed by Max up on one of my walls. I'm sure that was drawn when Max was doing his Broadway show in the early 70's, but of course it became his ...

Re: Nitrateville: Two complimentary Threads
The only saving grace is, if you run it at sound speed, it should only be around 5:25. Still not, to coin an old phrase, the most effective use of my time. I could watch a good triple feature (to say the least) during that time. But, to each his own. Not to get off on a tangent, but someone's runni...

More Ragtime!
Since we have Max Morath up there, here's two more good documentaries on Ragtime: First, a PROJECT 20 Doc from 1960 hosted by Hoagy Carmichael called THOSE RAGTIME YEARS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hMNAyErh4A&t=1847s and a 1977 CBC Doc called THEY ALL PLAYED RAGTIME, based on the book of t...

LIVING A RAGTIME LIFE (1992) Max Morath
One of the perhaps silver linings when a famous person passes is it tends to coax out some of their work from oblivion. Case in point with Max Morath, who passed away last year and his passing brought to light his early NET show THE RAGTIME ERA (1962). Now here's LIVING A RAGTIME LIFE, a filming of ...
