While paging through my newly arrived cable guide for Oct., I noticed that AMC's Film Preservation Festival this year is doing a whole buncha old comedy shorts. Not just the Chaplin/Keaton/Lloyd stuff we know by heart, but more out of the way stuff, too. Eddie Cantor, Jack Benny, Fred Allen, George and Gracie, Max Davidson, Fatty Arbuckle, the Ritz Bros., and more. This is not my area of expertise, so I'd be interested in a few taping recommendations from those more in the know. Any gems that we should be watching for (with VCR's poised)? I don't have the stamina to do the entire Laurel & Hardy marathon coming up this weekend. Any recommendations of particular L&H shorts? (This is cross-posted on Screen-L and H-Film.
