Hollywood - Ep 5: Hazards of the Game

The legendary series which outlines the history of Hollywood and the individuals that shaped film-making. Episode Five looks at the work of the stuntmen and how the behind the scenes work brought the screen alive in slapstick comedy as well as action and drama.

Yakima Canutt is one of the coolest names I’ve ever heard.

Thank you for your series! I've watched about 3 , and sooooo informative, and never boring, totally jaw dropping, alll the stars and contributors so articulate! These silent screen stuntmen blow me away! Today's movies are basically elementary compared to their lives at stake, and novelty, I can't imagine the writer's imagination +thinking to make multiple movies of interest. TH U 😀😀😀😀😀😀😆😆😆😆😆❤❤🌹🌹😮😄😄😄

Harvey Parry was simply the best stunt man ever, his last film appearance as a stunt performer was REMARKABLY in 1985. He died later that year from a heart attack aged 85. His last film was released after his death.

This series is one of the best.

Love this series of documentaries! I love movies, and just started to appreciate the silent movies. When I watched the Kid with Charlie Chaplin it changed my mind about them

[@marylizakowski706]

For me, the silent film that changed my mind about them was Greed. The Kid was also good.

[@carasmith549]

For me it was F. W. Murnau's Sunrise - just wonderful.

A l époque c était formidable le cinéma et ces différents genres burlesques épouvante western guerre chevalerie et autres mais ils y avaient les serials ou la sequence de fin rendaient impatient le publics jusqu'a la semaine qui suivait . Et donc les cinémas etaient complets chaques semaines enfin comme ont dit l âge d or .

When sound came in movies were stuck in sound stages. In the mid 1950s movies started to move out of the lot, even going overseas, this was regarded as innovative.

Buster keaton dans les années 20 fesait lui même ces cascades il n'a été doublé qu'a partir des années 30 car les grosses maisons de productions comme la mgm . Par contre chez mack sennette ils y a eux parfois des blessés en tournant a un rytme plus lents et malgré cela

Viola Dana got her start on the Broadway stage and at the age of 16 she starred in a very successful play called "The Poor Little Rich Girl"

[@samanthamorris5340]

Is that what the Mary Pickford movie is based on?

[@emilys3458]

@@samanthamorris5340 Im assuming it is. As is the Shirley Temple movie later. About a rich girl with parents who dont pay her much attention and then she gets deathly ill and dreams of a fantasy world...

Does anyone else think that the silent director early in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN yells "Cut!" too quickly?

Am I right that they didn't talk about Buster Keaton in this episode?
