Trailer for SPEAKING OF HARPO

Lots of interesting stuff in this trailer for Susan Fleming Marx and Robert Bader's upcoming book, Speaking of Harpo, due out on July 15. The quality of Bader's video interviews with Susan are good enough to be included in a documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX7AxqNAbzc

Re: Our Gang (Little Rascals) Classic Flix Blu-ray opinion

If you're watching a movie, and find yourself obsessing on grain, actors' freckles, a millimeter or two of cropping; you're not doing it right.

PECK'S BAD BOY AT THE CIRCUS (1938)

Ok, so its no timeless classic, but any film with Edgar Kennedy, Billy Gilbert, William Demarest, Spanky McFarland, and directed by Eddie Cline is OK by me. https://youtu.be/q8nDfzod18U

HAM THE FLY FISHER (9.5mm Lloyd Hamilton)

I think this was derived from Duck Inn (1920), but would be happy to be proven wrong. https://youtu.be/6hhoTIJrsSY

Re: THE ACID TEST (1932) Tom Howard

If you can’t get enough of Tom Howard (and in most cases, George Shelton), here are three more:

FAT WIVES FOR THIN (1930 Sennett)

This is one of Sennett’s more remarkable early talkies, not only because it features a clean-shaven Andy Clyde, but because of the untrimmed outtake at the very end. Make of it what you will. https://youtu.be/kg7PyU7ANmo
