Description

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was a silent comedy trailblazer whose reputation was overshadowed by one of Hollywood's first scandals. This filmography examines his work as a performer, director, and comedy creator, tracing his journey from stage to screen. Arbuckle's early forays into films were marked by innovation and success, earning him a place among the pioneers of American silent comedy. The book also explores his banishment from the screen and ultimate comeback, featuring over 500 rare photographs and advertising images that illustrate his career. Steve Massa's in-depth study is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of silent comedy, and provides a unique insight into the life and work of this influential performer and filmmaker.
