The Tramp, the Stone Face and the Glasses: Best Laugh Out Loud Films of the Silent Era Steven Rooster

This is the little black Book of Silent Laughter. It features the greatest cinematic achievements of the top three comedians of the silent era; Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. Each had his own unique onscreen character: "The Little Tramp", "The Great Stone Face" and "The Glasses", respectively. The movies were carefully handpicked, as a result of researching: Audience and Critics feedback, Box Office Performance, Awards & Nominations and our team's personal opinion. It's not just an eBook with a film list... It presents the life stories of the three silent legends and a few, little known facts about their private life, work and style. The movies are arranged chronologically. Each of them tells a bit about the on-screen story and gives a glimpse behind the scenes too. The reader can follow each artist from the beginning of his career to the twilight of the silent era and its aftermath. Recommended for silent film enthusiasts, movie marathon lovers, and to everyone, who needs a good, old-school laugh in this fast paced, noisy world of today.
