Episode 7 - Inside Rolin Films with Ben Model and Steve Massa
Description
Six degrees of every silent comedy passed through the doors of Harold Lloyd and Hal Roach's first film venture. Ben Model & Steve Massa are back to discuss the talents and careers of the Rolin Film Company cast and crew before and after Hal Roach Studios.
The genius of Mack Sennett and Keystone, and of Essenay and the Chaplins. And the connections with Arbuckle and Keaton.
Playing music for films, and the variations of mood and mode - piano, organ or orchestra. The value of hearing a score performed live and acoustically absorbing it.
We also discuss Ben & Steve's award-winning DVD collection of Edward Everett Horton short films produced by Harold Lloyd, and Richard Simonton's preservation efforts.
Plus: Bud Jamison, Harry Langdon, and the room-shaker.
