Synopsis
The Forgotten Films of Roscoe "Fatty"
Arbuckle contains 32 classic silent and sound comedies
directed by and starring master filmmaker Roscoe Arbuckle.
The "Prince of Whales" is also joined by some
of the silver screen's most legendary stars including
Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand, Harold
Lloyd, Ford Sterling, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino,
child star Jackie Coogan, and some unjustly forgotten
comic luminaries like Al St. John, Mack Swain, Edgar
Kennedy, Charley Chase, Monty Banks, Lloyd Hamilton,
Lupino Lane and, of course, Arbuckle's multi-talented
canine companion Luke.
Restored and digitally remastered from original archival
materials, or the only known surviving print, each film
features completely restored titles, intertitles, and
several films include previously lost or alternate footage.
Silent titles feature newly created scores from Philip
Carli, David Drazin, Ben Model, The Mont Alto Orchestra,
The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, Rodney Sauer and Donald
Sosin.
The Forgotten Films of Roscoe "Fatty"
Arbuckle includes a special 36-page full-color
collectors booklet with biographies, restoration notes,
reviews and essays.
This 4 DVD set is a long overdue celebration of the
life and work of funny man Roscoe Arbuckle.
