June 23, 2022 Sidetracks - Other Silent Movies
Following our discussion on Silent Movie (1976), we wanted to profile some more acclaimed silent movies, including Harold Lloyd's Safety Last (1923), Buster Keaton's The General (1926), Charlie Chaplin's City Lights (1931), and lastly The Artist (2011). We also surprisingly have a lot to say about Orson Welles via our mediocre impressions.
