The Golden Age of Comedy (1957)
Country: US
Technical: bw 78m
Director: Robert Youngson
Cast: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Harry Langdon, Ben Turpin
Synopsis:
A compilation of work from the most celebrated silent comedians.
Review:
One of a number of features made up of classic movie and archive material that Youngson curated during the late fifties and early sixties. Thankfully, they kept filmgoers' memories alive long enough to celebrate these artists before they all passed on. Michael Bentine and the NFT went one step further in 1969-70, introducing projections for television audiences mercifully free of the commentary that here mars the overall effect.
