Re: Chase, Gierucki & Roberts on the Radio!

Hey, this sounds like fun, I'll have to remember to tune in for it.

CASH ON YOUR LINE (1959) Stubby Kaye

You know we love all-star Industrial and Sales Films here at the mafia, and here's a doozy, a singin' and dancin' epic for Bell Telephone starring Stubby Kaye and featuring Bert Remsen and a chorus line of singers and dancers all selling the telephone for making sales: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Very saddened to hear this unwanted and unexpected news. Donna was a fine person and a great researcher and film historian and was a great supporter of Slapsticon (though I'm not sure she was ever able to get to one in person). She had me and Rob Farr on her STOLEN MOMENTS podcast several times to p...

Released by Biograph May 1, 1913, featuring Blanche Sweet, Henry B. Walthall, Harry Carey and William Courtwright: htt...

An Apology and a Correction

Recently, it was brought to my attention that we had unfortunately omitted a name in the special thanks credit for WHAT WOMEN DID FOR ME on the CHARLEY CHASE AT HAL ROACH THE LATE SILENTS 1927 Blu-Ray set. It was the name of Glenn Mitchell, who indeed had let us know about the British Film Institute...
