Reportaje a Anibal Troilo (Pichuco): Homenaje a Homero Manzi (1971)



Palabras de Anibal Troilo el 3 de mayo de 1971, al cumplirse 20 años de la muerte de Homero Manzi (1907-1951), y una espontanea interpretacion de "Sur", canta Tito Reyes (detalle: canta con un cigarrillo en la mano!) El video imprime erróneamente la fecha 1975.

Le Diable Noir by Georges Melies (1905)




"El diablo negro"
Un precursor del cine y de las comedias. En éste caso, un simpático diablo que evidentemente no asusta a nadie. Sólo al sorprendido pasajero de un hotel que esperaba pasar una temporada de vacaciones bastante diferente a lo que resultó la realidad...

A traveler at an inn is harassed by a mischievous devil in his room.

(In 1913 Georges Méliès' film company was forced into bankruptcy by the large French and American studios and his company was bought out of receivership by Pathé Frères. After being driven out of business Méliès became a toy salesman at the Montparnasse station. In 1932 the Cinema Society gave Méliès a home in Chateau D'Orly. Melies did not grasp the value of his films, and having some 500 films recorded on cellulose the French Army seized most of this stock to be melted down into boot heels during World War I. Many of the other films were sold to be recycled into new film. As a result many of these films do not exist today.)

Syd Chaplin - Gussle the Golfer (1914)


El medio hermano de Carlitos Chaplin, Sydney Chaplin, en uno de sus primeros cortometrajes.
Es interesante comparar la forma de trabajar de Sydney con la de Charlie.
Nótese, también, la aparición de Mack Swain, un actor que solía trabajar en las películas de Carlitos...

Charlie Chaplin's half-brother, Sydney Chaplin, in one of his early shorts.

Interesting to compare Syd's performance here with Charlie's -Idle Class-.

Note the appearance of Mack Swain, a regular in Charlie's movies.
