Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesOne of the glaring omissions from this film is the absence of Harold Lloyd. Despite being good friends with Director Robert Youngson, Lloyd did not permit Youngson to use his films. Lloyd owned the copyright to most of his films and produced his own compilations.
- GaffesAt one point, narrator Dwight Weist remarks that a quarter century has passed since the death of Harry Langdon. In fact, he died in December of 1944, just over 15 years before this film was released.

Good Start
When Comedy Was King (1960)
*** (out of 4)
Robert Youngson "documentary" showing various clips from the silent era including performers such as Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, The Keystone Cops, Laurel and Hardy, Edgar Kennedy, Gloria Swanson, Harry Langdon, Mabel Normand among various others. The film is a good way for newbies to see these legends in their prime but for me it's rather frustrating because I'd rather be watching the entire films rather than just little clips. I also always have a problem with these sorts of things because the clips are never as funny as they are in the entire movie. Either way, a decent doc that shows how great these guys were.
