Silent comedy short time--our favourite programme returns with 5 fantastic silent shorts with live musical accompaniment.
The Hal Roach Studio in the 1920s was like a candy store for hungry comedy goers-an absolute overabundance of top notch comedians. From comedy teams to solo artists this showcase of “The Lot of Fun” comes jammed packed with TSFF favourites:
Laurel & Hardy are prison escapees with the cops hot on their tails so what do they do but climb up an unfinished skyscaper..seems like a good idea to keep one step ahead of the law. It’s mayhem over matter with the boys in the classic comedy Liberty.
The kids of Our Gang put on a show at the country fair including imitations of their favourite movie stars. All the kids and Petey the Pup too in The Big Show.
Fan favourite Charley Chase gets his teeth fixed and becomes irresistible to women. His wife gets her nose fixed and becomes irresistible to men. How dare they flirt with others in Mighty Like a Moose.
Harold Lloyd & Bebe Daniels and Snub Pollard get into all sorts of trouble in a dance hall when crooks try to take everything they have in Young Mr. Jazz.
Anita Garvin & Marion Byron get way in over their heads with hot babies in this secret short.
