Buster Keaton Prepares for the Cricket Season -

Boy's Cinema Weekly, May 4, 1921

[1] "I must understand what the book said: 'Keep your eye on the ball, carefully calculate where it is going to pitch, and play a safety stroke if it is a well-pitched ball and dead on the wicket.' Ah, here it comes! It looks rather swift!"

[2] "I played forward to the beastly thing, but something must have been wrong with the pitch, for the ball shot up to a surprising height, got me a nasty one right in the neck, and gave me a sore throat that I can't shake off.

[3] "I think I had better read over the advice in this book on how to play cricket, as my first efforts don't appear to have been quite as successful as I would have liked them to be: in fact, I might say painful efforts."

[4] Buster Keaton, the Metro comedian, finding out by means of flower if he'll ever achieve any success in the cricket field.

Limelight (1952)

“The genius of Chaplin is like an iceberg - you only see what’s above water, but you sense the depths. Humour above the water, tragedy below.“

John Barrymore (Los Angeles Times, June 21,1925)

Buster discusses early filmmaking

tomblesabuckets

any movie recs like bedazzled? watched it recently n was sad peter cook hasnt done a lot of other films

So glad to see another bedazzled fan! Unfortunately I can’t think of many movies that are similar, it’s one of a kind (at least as far as I know). You might like Hopscotch (1980) which I think has a similar vibe. In the British comedy world you might want to check out A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Also if you just like Peter Cook I think all his appearances on the Dick Cavett show are hilarious, there are clips on YouTube. Thanks for giving me a chance to talk about this stuff!

Reblogging for the great question and answer!!

If I may, I gotta interject to spread the good word about an excellent "Peter Cook & Dudley Moore masterpost" by @notonlybutalso! I'm not sure how many of the links are still accessible, but it's at least a wonderful starting point if you're looking for Cook (and Moore!) media to enjoy!

Does the Dudley Moore and Peter Cook fandom still exist? I’m new here!

fuckyeahpetercook

I've been on Tumblr since 2009 (I'm old here!) and I'm really glad to say that in all these years, Peter Cook and/or Dudley Moore pop up in posts more than I might have guessed! Welcome to the fold! :)

Buster KEATON: a Hard Act to Follow EP1 (TV) 1987 📽2K Sub.

Mon Oncle was released in France on 10 May 1958 (The English version of the film, which was filmed at the same time and has a number of slight differences in performances and staging – and is 9 minutes shorter – was released in November 1958).

The 5th film that Jacques Tati directed (and his first in color), was an immediate box office success and received the most awards of any of Tati’s films, including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, Special Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and New York Critic’s Circle Award for Best Foreign Film, while some critics at the time objected to what they perceived as a glorification of consumer culture in the film.

Buster Keaton's first short of 1920 was "One Week". Buster released his first short one month before the opening of his feature film debut in "The Saphead". It created a sensation! A critic of the day said "likely to produce the laugh heard 'round the world!". Another called it "the sensation of the year". Later Buster said that "One Week" did more than any of his other comedies to cement him as a master of screen comedy. Buster said in his autobiography that the idea for the film came to him after he'd seen a promotional film aimed at newlyweds. It was for put-it-together houses that could be assembled, according to the film, in 7 days.

Released in November 1935, A Night at the Opera is widely considered one of the Marx Brothers’ greatest films and was their first production with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Directed by Sam Wood, it marked a significant shift for the comedy troupe as their first film without Zeppo Marx and their first to feature a more structured, sympathetic narrative under the guidance of producer Irving Thalberg.
