Golden Silents: 18: The Fall Guys

BBC One
on BBC One London

Introduced by Michael Bentine from the National Film Theatre

Nearly all the silent film comedians came from music-hall and many were acrobats. They often played the part of the eternal loser, the sucker. -So they truly were 'fall guys' in both senses of the term, as Larry Semon, Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, and Stan Laurel demonstrate.
A BBC tv production in association with Mitchell Monkhouse Associates and Raymond Rohauer
