WALL STREET BLUES - Billy Bevan
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 5:44 pm
I know I'm not the only "Youngson Baby".
Watching his compilations as a child, were the main reason for my passion for "slapstick" film comedy.
One of the many iconic scenes I remember marvelling at, was Billy Bevan in a car, on the edge of a cliff, with a rope around his neck and Vernon Dent hanging off the other end of it!
The scene was from 'Wall Street Blues' - a "lost" Sennett.
It had always been an ambition to try and reconstruct this film and I was finally able to achieve this a couple of years ago.
It was shown at Slapsticon in 2013, and at the Cinema Museum in London last year, but hey, I thought you guys may want to see it too!
Viva Bevan!
