1934 SAG FILM STARS' FROLIC
Louis Lewyn-produced short released by Educational and hosted by Walter Winchell. A smattering of stars seen at a rodeo with a slight plotline similar to THE STOLEN JOOLS. Shirley Temple is prominent in several shots with no mention. Billy Barty nearly gets kicked in the pants by James Cagney. Arthu...

Re: POKER WIDOWS (1931) Arthur Stone, Patsy O'Leary
I like your straightforward analysis, Richard. If you made an audio commentary track for this bupke, I think you could turn it into something hilarious. But I wouldn't want to put you through that kind of torture - seeing this twice!

Is that Jerry Mandy by any chance?

Re: CARRY HARRY (1942)
Harry's career in 1942 seemed to be on a modest but genuine rebound; currently on eBay is this cast & crew still from the PRC feature HOUSE OF ERRORS, a good little comedy that serves Harry and his screen partner Charley Rogers particularly well. It also marks the final film appearance of lovely...

CARRY HARRY (1942)
Harry Langdon is our eponymous hero in this delightful late Columbia short, which begins around the 5:40 mark after an introduction. Directed by his old friend and collaborator Harry Edwards, it's clear that Langdon had a hand in the writing as he reuses gags from both THREE'S A CROWD and THE CHASER...

Re: Harold Lloyd by Robert E. Sherwood
It's interesting that Sherwood actually mentions the effects of the bomb: the loss to his right hand. Yes indeed. It's not the first mention in the press of Harold's hand injury (those reports came soon after the occurrence in 1919) but Sherwood's account appeared when Lloyd was at the height of hi...

Harold Lloyd by Robert E. Sherwood
"Harold Lloyd himself is not a great comedian - not to be compared, individually, with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, W.C. Fields... He has no genius for pantomimic clowning; his humor, at all times, is reliant upon the surrounding situations. But he has something that all these...

THE DEFENDERS (1962) Bert Wheeler, William Shatner guest stars
SiCom Mafia might be the only site where the poster makes a bigger fuss about Bert Wheeler's late tv appearance over a pre-Star Trek Bill Shatner. Thanks to my brother for sending this episode my way, that Wheeler & Woolsey book I sent him 30 years ago came in handy when he saw this online. Bert...
