If your looking for your next project. the very steep hill on overland was used over and over again for the "runaway wagon, piano etc. It qa shaved down sometime in the 70's to make it less steep

Yes, thank you. Silent comedian Monty Banks filmed "Flivver Wedding" along Overland in 1920, long before Our Gang and other early Hal Roach stars filmed there. I created a video about Flivver Wedding I hope to post here someday

Stan Laurel jumps for joy at the ladies, or was that a stunt double?

@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson 21 сағат бұрын

They were very athletic, jumping and falling over all the time, so I doubt they used any doubles here

I like the way it was when it was rural and not crowded with ugly buildings and wall to wall people.

I used to work where Hal Roach Studios was located. There was a small plaque on the corner of Washington Blvd.

I really think I was born at the wrong time. I have endless fascination with the 20’s Los Angeles and Hollywood. Must have been paradise on earth. Lots of land, little congestion.

@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson 5 күн бұрын

It was so different back then. There were simply miles and miles of open land everywhere. Even in housing subdivisions, maybe 3 out of 20 parcels were built, the others vacant lots, and with no mature trees and landscaping, you could see miles across flat land from your front door, no trees or other homes blocking your view

I'd love to know if that hilly neighborhood of houses still remains from Laurel and Hardy's comedy about piano movers.

Yes, the stairs, honored by the City of LA, still stand next to 937 N. Vendome St. Do an internet search for "The Music Box Steps" and you will find dozens of reports

Wow, that's great! Thank you for sharing. Have you seen my Seven Chances video? Buster had two Mercer Roadsters, both in the film. They had nearly sequential license plate numbers - see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nna2aoWggd2loaMsi=MBSPjkViKmBagLsU&t=188

Great work! I lived across Venice Blvd when I was going to UCLA in the 80s but never knew about the history of Culver City (despite being an extra in movies, one of which was filmed at the former Ince Studios). Wish I would've know all this back then.

@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson 9 күн бұрын

Thanks - it's great the Ince Studios front office is still there. I went to UCLA early 80s, but had no idea back then, missed the chance to see it

I love the maps and simple animations. My dad worked for a small aerospace company in Culver City from about 1964-1989. In the early 1970s he drove me there a few times from Orange county to show me where the Tarzan movies were made. In the 80s when VHS came along, I watched a lot of silent movies from the pre Blockbuster rental stores.

I consider “Go West” as one of his more underrated and under-appreciated films. It’s a favorite of mine, not only because I love cows and I love Buster (both in one film🩷), but also because, as you said, it was meticulously orchestrated. I appreciate the work you put into these, and your narration is personal and helpful. Thank you for continuing to honor Buster’s legacy this way.
