Re: "Boom in the Moon" soundtrack
So I'm scratching my head over when the English dub for Buster Keaton's "El Moderno Barba Azul" was done. There seems to be some thinking that the English version was prepared for the video release in the 80s, but the musical score differs from that of the original Spanish version. Credit...

Re: Atoll K "Mystery Woman"
I've seen every Laurel & Hardy film dozens of times, and ATOLL K more times than I care to admit. But I just noticed this for the first time (it helps when you have a nice print, such as the German DVD "Dick und Doof erben eine Insel"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlR98ezoAFg Watch...

Re: Tille reissue, circa 19-sixty___?
Thanks Brent (and Rob too, natch!) So you figure this received a theatrical release as late as '67? Seems pretty primitive, compared to the Youngson stuff and even somthing like "The Great Stone Face". I think I have more different versions of TILLIES PUNCTURED ROMANCE than anything else ...

Re: Behind the scenes still at the Hal Roach Studio
Lehrman didn't last a week and he was back at Warner Brothers. Richard, is this something you could elaborate on? I've only found one other article so far in Moving Picture World that covers much of the same stuff that Brent's LA Times article covered, but haven't found any evidence to date that Le...

Re: Behind the scenes still at the Hal Roach Studio
That's Hal Yates with the pipe, not Beaudine. As for "Charley Chase", here's a jaw dropper for you - I think it may be Henry Lehrman! It looks like him, and not tall and thin enough to be Chase, and this may be circa April 12, 1927, when Lehrman was announced in the L.A. Times as being pl...

Re: Joe Keaton in non-Buster Keaton films--Paging Paul Gierucki
Okay. In "Sold at Auction", Joe plays a character named Mike Casey, the book thrower who bought James Finnlyson's books. The actor is basically the same height as Joe and has the same exact mannerisms. He's dressed with an Irish chin-like beard and huge eyebrows, and hates German music (p...
