Character Studies (1927)
** (out of 4)
Historically interesting, if overall silly, film has Carter DeHaven doing various impersonations of other silent screen stars. Instead of him actually doing the impersonations, through editing, the real stars end up coming out of the magic box. Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Jackie Coogan, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino and Fatty Arbuckle appear as themselves. Overall the film is rather boring and there's nothing too special here outside of seeing the real stars. What makes this film so interesting is that it was apparently filmed in 1925 as some sort of "friends" movie because Arbuckle had already been blacklisted from appearing in movies due to the murder case he went through.
