ARBUCKLE & KEATON V1
Our Price: $29.95
Out of Stock

Five silent two-reel comedies made by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle at the peak of     his popularity and creative freedom. Made after Arbuckle left Keystone to set    up his own production unit at Paramount, these historic shorts also feature      the great Buster Keaton in his earliest screen performances. The Butcher    Boy (1917) was not only Arbuckle's first independent production, but also   Keaton's film debut. The Bell Boy (1918) features Fatty and Buster as    incompetent hotel employees. Out West (1918) is a broad western parody  .  Moonshine (1918) is a genuine comedy classic that includes a sharp jab   at Chaplin's pathos-filled endings. Lastly there is The Hayseed (1919),  in which Keaton's "Great Stone Face" persona really begins to take shape. All  the films have been digitally mastered from the best surviving materials.   They are shown at correct projection speeds with restored intertitles and color     tinting, and new music scores and sound effects by the Alloy Orchestra.        Roscoe Arbuckle---USA---1917-1919---125 mins.

This collection includes five more Fatty Arbuckle shorts featuring a newcomer by the name of Buster Keaton in the cast. Arbuckle was among the most famous screen stars in the world when these two-reel comedies were released by          Paramount, who gave the star and director complete artistic freedom to lure him away from Keystone. Hiring Keaton was one of his first decisions and in Back Stage (1919), you can see the genius emerging within the new star. Good Night Nurse (1918) is a hilarious comic nightmare, complete with Fatty in nurse drag, cracking up Dr. Keaton. In Coney Island (1918), Arbuckle, his nephew Al St. John and Keaton vie for the heart of the same girl. The Rough House (1918) includes Arbuckle's "roll dance," the inspiration for a similar gag in Chaplin's masterpiece, The Gold Rush. Finally, The Garage (1920) is considered Buster's "spin-off" film, as he then went on to star in his own legendary films. All films have been digitally mastered from the best surviving materials. They are shown at correct          projection speeds with restored intertitles and color tinting, and new music   Roscoe Arbuckle---USA---1918-1920---121 mins.

BATTLING BUTLER / GO WEST (KEATON)
Our Price: $29.95
Out of Stock

Battling Butler (1926, 78 mins.) is a brilliant Keaton comedy about a timid aristocrat who tries to impress his beloved's father by claiming that he is the famous boxer "Battling" Butler. Things are going well until the real Battling Butler shows up and challenges Keaton to a fight. In Go West (1925, 72 mins.), Keaton leaves the Midwest for Arizona on his way to becoming a cowboy named Friendless. He removes a pebble from the foot of an injured cow, Brown Eyes, and they become inseparable. When Brown Eyes is shipped to Los Angeles,Friendless accompanies her with comic results: Keaton and Brown Eyes exploring department stores and beauty parlors. But this is "the most atypical and at the same time one of the most endearing of his [Keaton's] films. With acrobatics and gag comedy at a minimum, he experimented uncharacteristically with a quality of pathos in his depiction of Friendless and his comradeship with a gentle, sweet cow" (David Thomson). Silent with music track.

A rare and bizarre Keaton film, in which he plays a World War II soldier who     is marooned in Italy, where a scientist recruits him for a rocket ship trip to   the moon. The special effects are as laughable as the plot, but this is a rare   example of Keaton at the end of his career. 65 mins.

While far too much of Buster Keaton's career was wasted on projects unworthy     of his great talent, the two National Film Board of Canada productions           included here allowed the artist a proper final bow. Buster Keaton Rides      Again (John Spotton, 1965, 55 mins.) is a behind-the-scenes look at the     screen legend at work on The Railrodder that shows Keaton still          creatively involved at this late stage in his career. Also included is the     short film itself, The Railrodder (Gerald Potterton, 1965, 25 mins.),      one of Keaton's last starring vehicles and a well-made throwback to the        comedian/director's glory years.
