| Re: Silent Films
SS: As I recall, they did both a silent and a later sound version of that ... and it was something of a comedic standby sketch. I'm going on a very (40-years-or-so) old memory here, but I seem to recall seeing this sketch done also by Keaton (with Fatty Arbuckle, I think?) and, perhaps, Chaplin in the silent era ... and the Three Stooges did one, as I recall, in the sound era. (As I said, this may be a faulty memory; anyone who knows for certain, please pass on the information pro or contra.) |
