Franchement le Top des Tops ! Des AS ces Grands Hommes...

[LowbrowProds]

@gbessaha Merci. (I learned that from FLYING DEUCES.....)

[4001firstdiesel]

Is that Harold Lloyd at 2:39?

[LowbrowProds]

@4001firstdiesel That is Harold bringing up the rear (literally) from NOW OR NEVER (21).

[4001firstdiesel]

@LowbrowProds Thanx:)



[TheHairybaz]

this left me in tears of laughter. found it while looking for another film of stan and ollie on a sleeper train in a single bunk with a cello. im sure the scenes of them in this clip are from the film im looking for but cant seem to find it on here.anyone help me out

[LowbrowProds]

@TheHairybaz The film you are thinking about is Berth Marks (29), one of the Boys earliest talkie - and yes, these clips are from that film.I'm glad you found my page. Check out my other montages where clips of L&H are abundant.

[Friedtwizzler]

loved that engineer with the pipe driving off so fast the seats and passengers flew around the coach.what is it from?

[LowbrowProds]

@Friedtwizzler Sennett's WHISPERING WHISKERS (26) - Billy Bevan, Andy Clyde.

The shorts they made together for Sennett in the mid-20's are essential viewing for connoisseurs of low comedy.

[maaya111mk]

lol, I was like keep screaming OH NOOOO to the end.

[olive6405]

hey! how about doing a sequel featuring Duke Ellington's TAKE THE A TRAIN.

[LowbrowProds]

@olive6405 Sure. Start gathering more train footage that I can use.

[PoetryETrain]

This has been added to facebook, and our playlists, thank you much...

[auzatmagne]

GENIAL !

[piyompi]

What movies are at 3:07 and 3:12? The ones where cars are crossing really closely in front on the train? Anyone know?

[LowbrowProds]

@piyompi That would be Larry Semon's THE SHOW (1922).

[piyompi]

@LowbrowProds Thanks a bunch! I love your video, has a lot of stuff I've never seen.

What's the clip right before 3:12 with the guy holding his head? It looks like Buster Keaton. Is it "Sherlock Holmes Jr"?

[LowbrowProds]

@piyompi That is correct. I'm glad you like the video. All of the clips in it has been released on DVD, so if you enjoy silent comedy it is out there. It's just a matter of searching them out.

I also have a 5 part video called CUT TO THE CHEAP that may interest you. It examines silent comedy in it's heyday trying to survive when sound came in. It also has lots of clips from that era. And then I made a short video SOUNDS OF SLAPSTICK, which is a musical montage of slapstick in the sound era.

[mjbari3]

Thanks! Lots of my favorite things here: trains, silent comedians, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra! (Even this particular recording of this song!)

[LowbrowProds]

@mjbari3 This version is from the movie SUN VALLEY SERENADE as I needed a longer version of the song to cram all of my edits in.

[mjbari3]

@LowbrowProds There is a longer version that I have on vinyl; it includes the entire music played for the dance number that follows!

[MontagTheMagician]

This sucks green donkey dicks. Big band music and silent films do not go together. Plus there's countless pre war records about trains that are better than this corny song. Use music from the right time period.

[phsyco123]

@MontagTheMagician always lowering the tone when something doesn't appeal to you

[mstsme]

now this is a real music video

[NellsStuff]

VERY cool! As a fan of trains and old comedy, this one really is fun to me! Nice to see Buster Keaton, as he was himself a fan of trains. The last scene is from his film The General.

[edwardconway27]

I think the man who sitting in the front of the train is Buster Keaton? am I right?

[LowbrowProds]

@edwardconway27

Yes. It's from Keaton's short THE GOAT (1921)

[XsweetstarliteX]

looooooooooooooooooooooooool

[Mitsdat]

You want to get your timing right at 3:21 bloody hell. Great clip. Steam Engines "love em"

[fjbutch]

That was the most fun I've had for awhile...brilliant stuff...well done...

[sproutcentral]

@fjbutch LOL!!! Classic stuff Butch.

[dramaqueen1110]

OMG thx x10 for posting this.

[thewackingtons]

ThoughSeeminglySimpleInItsAsse­mbly,ThisVidIsDeceptivelyCompl­ex: The editing is at a pro-level.

[neatoauctions]

SWEET GOD, WHAT A COMPILATION!!!

I had no idea such footage existed!

All set to a great song, very entertaining.

Thank you too many!

[medamine39]

Great performance, I appreciate.

[LowbrowProds]

If I may I'd like to recommend a few other film montages that are on this channel - The Hollywood Overture and The First Flickers, both of which use the full gamut of Hollywood stars from it's earliest inception to the present day.

Again, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support.

[Idjarba]

I thoroughly enjoy this every time I watch it.

[FarMech22]

Thoroughly enjoyed this!!!

Loved trying to recognize all of the actors

Laurel & Hardy, W.C. Fields, Charlie Chaplin, The Three Stooges, etc., etc.

[harshvardhan1]

thisis called direction and thisis called editing ,in those times i would say a miracle.

yes in olden times men were more efficient in using their minds now humans luv to copy.

now they steal idea.now they dontknow how to fix their car or annoyed wife with a joke now they can give her divorce.

humans changed lot and they dotnknow howmuch they lost lot and what lot they lost,

[SR722]

[LowbrowProds]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. David, nice seeing you wandering afar from the SCM. I checked out your site. Very interesting collection.

For those of you who are rusty with their German bummelstudent said "Men without nerve", which pretty well sums up these clips.

[davidbpearson2]

Few people will realize how good this is.

[famguy218]

are those the three stooges?

[BaltoJoey]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fantastic video. You've combined 3 of my favorite interests, old movies, music and trains. THANK YOU for posting this!!
