I still have quite a bit of Keaton to explore, and caught a few Chaplins before they got dropped from CC. I have not really dug into much silent comedy as I tend to favor the dramas, but I have found the comedies fairly impressive.<br /><br />In the post screening conversation, Suzanne Lloyd describes how Harold lost half his hand and was blinded for months when he was doing a photo shoot and lit a cigarette with what he thought was a fake bomb. If you see him up close in his post 1919 films, you can see that his face is scarred and that he's wearing a prosthetic glove on his right hand. He did some crazy stunts in what I've seen him in so far and seems pretty badass. Thanks for keeping up with my random posts, Don.
