American Slapstick (Full Frame)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Irreverent, anarchic, and truly American! These are the silent comedians: immigrants, outcasts and hard-up outsiders who personified the American Dream, becoming movie stars, heroes, icons. And here are their films! If you're looking for subtlety and refinement, drop this disc and run away. Inside, expect to find: exploding cars, innocent bystanders smacked in the head with hammers, underwear models chased by cross-dressing villains, auctioneers crawling across airplane wings to retrieve false teeth, memory-impaired lovers, somnambulists, drunken reprobates, deranged acrobats, and the Keystone Kops. 17 new-to-DVD silent comedy classics and archival rarities! Disc 1: "Caught In The Rain," "Laughing Gas," "A Submarine Pirate," "Cupid's Rival," "The Bond" and Super-Secret Bonus Short Disc 2: "Golf," "Lizzies Of The Field," "Heavy Love," "Uppercuts," "Beauty And The Bump" and "Reckless Rosie" Disc 3: "Luke's Movie Muddle," "Pay Your Dues," "The Nonskid Kid," "Sold At Auction," "Smithy" and "Forgotten Sweeties".
