You could imagine Johnny Morris fighting a kangaroo in an episode of Animal Magic, and then voicing/dubbing over 'the ringside commentator'.dng wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 9:11 pm Studies In Animal Motion (1922)

this was only his second ever film apparently
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
he starts this scene fully dressed but not even clothes can contain him
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
Yeah I loved that one too. Jules Dassin is one of my favourite directors from that era, I don't really understand why he's not more recognised as one of the best. Maybe because he was a victim of the Communist blacklist shit. Although after that he made a few amazing films in Europe, married a beautiful Greek actress and lived to be 96 so I think he had the last laugh
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
excellent. also yeah, i'd never really heard of him before, despite having heard of (but never seen) a bunch of his films (the naked city, rififi, topkapi)

Informative goodness, Davuss. Good work, sir!
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
I watched both of Buster Keaton's 1923 films this week, Three Ages and Our Hospitality. I didn't expect to like them as much as some of his later ones but Three Ages was surprisingly great and had an excellent dinosuar in it (also a lion)
Our Hospitality not quite as good, it starts reallllllllly slowly but builds up to a pretty magnificent ending
they are both one hundred years old

Re: this flim is 100 flams old
maybe he was busy saving up his better ideas for the feature length films
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
The Saphead
Buster Keaton's first feature film, and the only one he didn't direct. I mostly watched it for completist reasons but I actually liked it a lot! It's a more traditional romantic comedy, with only a little bit of physical / slapstick stuff, but I found it pretty relentlessly charming.
It is 103 years old.

I think I've only seen "The Immigrant" from that era. I've seen a couple of earlier ones, but they were terrible. I would like to see more of these but I am NOT ALLOWED to buy any more blu-rays even though that set sounds lovely
