It's always impressed me how some of these films were produced at the peril and cost of human.lives. Our ancestors were made of far tougher stuff than we.

This is a great series!

Mr Arbuckle was treated horrendously. Brilliant series James Mason not only was a great actor his voice is a credit to this

Poor Roscoe got railroaded.

My sentiments literally exactly!

Every time I watch one of these I have to pause it and do my James Mason impersonation for 15 minutes.

Yes, Charlie Chaplin was one of the most influential--and brilliant--filmmakers of the 20th century!

thanks, amazing series

42:17 a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

"Roscoe was one of the biggest comedians..." I loved how she made sure we understood she wasn't speaking purely in metaphor.

Its all very interesting . I truly think Rosco Arbuckle was innocent.

when made this tv series?

End Qualified Immunity and End the high sheriff of LASD being untouchable! Not even the State AG can investigate them… they’re out of control.

who's voice? familiar to me.

That's Rudoplh Valentino wearing the hat, the actress is Beatrice Dominguez and the movie is The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse made in 1921.

This episode 3 shows us a fine example of the difference that there is in the careers of two legends of early Hollywood, one a success, (Chaplin) & one self destructive (Arbuckle).

Arbucle was self destructive? In what way? The man was loved and admired by those in the business but ended up being a victim of a con and the media that wanted to sell papers. He did nothing and certainly was not self destructive. He went through public hell his life and career was ruined through nothing he did.

Rosco arbuckle même si il été innocenté il ne retrouvera plus jamai le succè et même sous un pseudonyme il en mourra . Buster keaton son ami dira j ai l impossible et il été innocenté mais a l époque les vedettes pouvaient vite devenirs des stars déchus suites a une partie fine ce qui a été la réalité.

The Code was funny. Hardcore Catholics using Jewish heads of studios to tie Catholic doctrine to movies made for the Protestant American public.

As much as I love this series on silent film, they really present a biased version of the Arbuckle story. There’s nothing to indicate Virginia Rappe was anything but a hopeful young actress. Just gossip and the vitriol that comes to any woman who accuses a beloved public figure of misconduct. She told her friend Maude that Arbuckle had brutally assaulted her with a bottle and a few days later she died. Hollywood has a long history of defending their own, especially back when the studios had real power and ties to police and the DA.

I guess you missed the part where Zukor cancelled Arbuckle's contract and Hays banned Arbuckle from making movies. I guess you also missed the medical examiner's report that Rappe was not assaulted in any way. But go on with your version of events, I'm sure it's convenient for your world-view.

Yikes dude. Why the personal attack? Are you related to him? I know about the examiner's report. It doesn't contradict sexual assault. I also know Arbuckle changed his story between the moment he first spoke to the press and his first trial. At first, he said Rappe had become “hysterical” after having “a few drinks”, and began to “tear off her clothes”. He tried to help, at some point calling for a doctor. In this version of events, he’s never alone with Rappe. At trial, however, he presented a new story. This time around, he said he had found Rappe on the floor in the bathroom, clearly in pain, moaning. Rappe, according to Arbuckle’s testimony, was “holding her stomach” when he got in. In this version, too, he tries to help her, which involves giving her a glass of water and laying her down on a bed. By his own admission, Maude Delmont, told him to get out and leave Rappe alone, to which he replied by telling her to “shut up or I will throw her out the window”. Of course his movie contract was cancelled. They had to make that public gesture. But very soon after, he did make movies following the trial. To imagine the studios didn't have the power and money to change the narrative is a bit naive. But you got it chief.@@classiclife7204

@@TroyBrooksPainter Even if Arbuckle was briefly alone with her, there is no evidence he assaulted her. The only evidence we have is Maude Belmont who is not at all a reliable witness in this story. Rappe's own statements seem to indicate she never once accused Arbuckle. Also, by all accounts Arbuckle did his best to help Rappe, including getting her a doctor and her own room before going about his own business. They all thought she was just drunk and would sleep it off. Not really the conduct of an evil monster.

Garbo was very mediocre and plain.

Dear precious one, please repeat after me with your whole heart, "Father God, I'm a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe in the Good News that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that You resurrected Him from the dead in order to restore my relationship with You. Through my belief and faith in Jesus death, burial and resurrection, I am saved. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. Please guide my life and help me do Your will, Your way through the Holy Spirit. This I pray in the powerful, loving and glorious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen!" 🙏 Dear friend, may Father God our Creator, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and The Holy Spirit bless you, lead you, guide you and keep you in His abundantly loving care now and for all eternity! Amen!!! ❤️🙏
