Thank you so much for sharing this. Rudy looks so gorgeous. I felt sad seeing him with the children knowing he wanted kids so much. He just makes you feel like hugging him. Thanks again...
I was watching TCM's series on "The Thin Man". In one episode, Nick and Nora's train is pulling into the train station at San Francisco, which looks exactly like the train station in this video. Maybe all of the train stations were similar then--who knows, but it sure looked like the same station. Getty Images dates this video as January, 1926. Maybe someone could check to see if he was on tour at that time. Also, notice that the kids he poses with are walking parallel, behind the columns.
It's been way too long since we chatted and I told you how awesome your videos are, so, I just want to say your video is AWESOME!!! :-) I love the music and the film clips you use. . .I've never seen these film clips of Rudy before, so I am so in awe while watching him, not just because I'm seeing these for the first time, but he is just soooooooo incredible. And your video is incredible, too. :-)
It faintly says "Getty Images" in the background, so I got on the website of "Getty Images" and the only thing they had for RV was the cover of some French movie magazine published in 1927, the year after his death, promoting some fiction story about someone poisoning RV by putting ground diamonds into his food. I wonder if some of those foreign film archives would have newsreels, which this looks like it came from.
@msrudyfan If you find anything out, please pass it on, I looked all over the place last night and could find no radio interviews or additional film footage. I did however go to the internet archives and they had maybe a few mag articles I haven't read yet but that's about all :(
@JRudyLove I've read that the interview was recorded, but no one knows what happened to the recording This just might be discovered some day. Last year, Russia turned over 200+ lost silent films to the Library of Congress. Of the 10 that have been restored, 4 were from Famous Players Laskey, RV's studio. There's reason to hope that some of his lost films or more complete copies of existing films will surface. European cuts include racier love scenes not shown in the US, according to Swanson
@kangadillo This looks like footage from the same pool party in which Rudy jumps on top of Pola, who is on an inflatable starfish and they tumble backwards into the water, which must mean there's more footage of this elsewhere. Have you seen Marion Davies's book, which has stills of her and Rudy, who is teaching her to tango, also taken at a pool party? I don't know if it's the same pool party or not. There is also the still of him hugging Louella Parsons, also a a pool party. Thanks again.
@valentinolover70 Lucky idiot is what I would call her!!! Like Clare said, she needs to be bought back from the dead so we can kill her again hahahaha
he seems much older than 30 year (maybe he was tired for the trevel)
