Re: It's Bobby Dunn time...

I have a different 4-minute excerpt from Unidentified #1 on an Atlas Films "Kiddie Movie" titled OH, YOU NURSE. Right now it's at the LoC for (hopefully) the Show-and-Tell portion of MOSTLY LOST III.

OH CRAP!!!


I love the image of a room full of sweaty men sitting through four discs of Sennett & Roach shorts, waiting for the dirty part.

Re: Marcel Perez, R.I.P.

Bob,

Steve mentioned several weeks ago that you'd found his death cert and had ordered it. Thank you for sharing all the details. It's good to have this particular mystery put to bed.
