Re: SLAPSTICON 2010 to unveil lost and unknown Chaplin Film
It was mentioned in Peter Haining's British book about Chaplin referencing a 1965 interview. Chaplin's last interview was in 1966 around the time of Countess by Richard Meryman. It appeared in the UK Guardian and US Life in 1967, but he doesn't mention being a Cop. As I've said elsewhere, this is a...

Re: Could "Lost Keaton" lead to "Lost Langdon"
Thanks for the heads up on the complete Franco e Ciccio, Richard! I believe it's a 300-disc set retailing for 2 euro ;) As always, I'm keenly anticipating any new DVD releases, no matter how shrouded in mystery they are -- especially those slated from Mr. Gierucki et al. And what's this I hear abou...

Re: Could "Lost Keaton" lead to "Lost Langdon"
Just curious, since Kino's gone to the effort to release the five existing Langdon silent features, alongside their Keaton releases. If Kino has the courage to release the Educational Keatons, is a release of the Educational Langdons too farfetched an idea? Just asking because, after the release of...

Re: SLAPSTICON 2010 to unveil lost and unknown Chaplin Film
Great research Michael! Thank you, Rob. First, I have to say I owe everything I've done - literally, everything - to Bo Berglund; specifically to his landmark article "The Day the Tramp Was Born" in the Spring 1989 issue of Sight and Sound . From that, I gleaned the best way to document T...

Re: Roberts on the Radio: Slapsticon
As always, Richard, you make for fascinating listening. I could listen to your dulcet tones for hours. (Or, at least, 67 minutes). Ahhh, quit smoozin! Believe me, I hear these dulcet tones more than all and I certainly get tired of hearing them. I just wish that interview had gotten up sooner. It m...

Re: Roberts on the Radio: Slapsticon
Hey Gang, if anyone had trouble with the download on the STOLEN MOMENTS interview yesterday (apparently there was some skipping in the first part of the interview) It now has been fixed and plays fine. Feel free to give it another shot.
