Suggests: ROSCOE ARBUCKLE: The Life, the Scandal, and the Films

The one thing everybody knows about Roscoe Arbuckle--he hated it when people called him "Fatty"--is the scandal that destroyed his career and contributed to his premature death. But not one word of it was true! What is forgotten is that Arbuckle was one of the most brilliant auteurs of silent comedy, and the mentor and discoverer of younger artists including Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Bob Hope. Steve Massa, one of the world's top authorities on silent film comedy, will tell the TRUE story of the life, the scandal, and the art of Fatty (sorry, Roscoe!) Arbuckle, and will show some of Arbuckle's very best work in gorgeous newly restored prints.
