Re: YOU'RE NEXT (1940) Catlett and Collins
Just the type of material that turns me off of Columbia's. Joe Adamson wrote of "....those comedies where a gorilla wanders in and out of a room and no one ever notices it..." This does looks familiar. Was this ever shown at Slapsticon? Or maybe Cinecon...? Catlett's character name of Slo...

YOU'RE NEXT (1940) Catlett and Collins
Here's a little Columbia spooky action with the 1940 YOU'RE NEXT, teaming Walter Catlett and Monty Collins, Dudley Dickerson, and Chester Conklin in a bit at the beginning:

Re: Christmas Shopping In Luton
The Amnesty International Events were indeed terrific, and the 1976 one was the most historic with all the Cambridge and Oxford Comics working together. Did the surviving film materials improve at all? I remember when PLEASURES AT HER MAJESTY first came out from Rhino Video years ago, they only had ...

Re: Snub Pollard Comedy Capers
Here's a Comedy Capers with Snub Pollard titled YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RrJHNGIqfw For the first 56 seconds or so is footage of Snub as a motorcycle cop. What comedy is this from? After that it goes into AT THE RINGSIDE. Also, during the opening footage, is that Paul Pa...

Nitratevile Correction Dept: Outtakes, alternate versions, a
Hey, Bob Fells has been opening his mouth to spew come good nonsense over at the Nitratevile OUTTAKES, ALTERNATE VERSIONS, ABANDONED MOVIES thread. He said the 1925 MGM film version of BEN HUR originally starred George O’ Brien (it was George Walsh actually), and that HALLELUJAH, I’M A BUM was compl...

Re: Thumbs Up on Michael J. Hayde's CHAPLINS VINTAGE YEAR
I always like hearing that there is new info to learn about an old favorite topic. Dealing with the re-issuses alone sounds like a twisted maze to cover. That had to of drove Chaplin crazy that he didn't control the rights in the Thirties. Not at all, in fact, MIchael shows that Chaplin had three o...

Thumbs Up on Michael J. Hayde's CHAPLINS VINTAGE YEAR
Well, I think I’ll add a few words of praise to the other folk praising Michael Haydes Book CHAPLIN’S VINTAGE YEAR, which tells pretty darn good info about the Chaplin Mutuals and is an entertaining read. I think he even beat ol’ Kalton Lahue’s description of the various machinations between all the...

Continuing our Edgar Kennedy Fest, here's another good early one. Billy Eugene was much less annoying than Jack Rice as the Brother in Law:

Re: Martin & Lewis on the radio
What is interresting about the Martin and Lewis Radio show is the Guest Stars who interact with Dean and Jerry, one of my favorites is a Boris Karloff Hallloween Show I've got on tape aorund here somewhere, I'm sure BK's fees went up for radio appearances in October, though it's interesting how many...
