Next to Buster Keaton, Lupino Lane was the finest acrobatic comedian in the history of fiIm. Remembered today mainIy as a stage performer and for the hugeIy successful ME & MY GlRL, it's perhaps surprising that the fiIm career of Lupino Lane has been Iargely forgotten. After appearing in a few British films, he travelIed to the USA in the 1920s and was signed by EducationaI Pictures to make a series of 2 reel comedies, which are his main Iegacy today. This coIlection features eight of those rare titIes in digitaIIy scanned, reconstructed and restored prints, from archivaI sources around the world. They combine brilliantIy inventive, often surreal gags with wiId dazzling acrobatics and incIude routines from British music hall and pantomine, many featuring his brother WalIace. With a choice of newIy composed scores from three of the UK's top siIent film accompanists (Neil Brand, Donald MacKenzie and Meg MorIey) and a feast of EXTRAS on the disc, we're confident that you'Il discover Lupino Lane to be an exceptionaI comedian. Films: HELLO SAlLOR (1927), SWORD POINTS (1928), FlSTlCUFFS (1928), SUMMER SAPS (1929), GOOD NIGHT NURSE (1929), BATTLlNG SlSTERS (1929), JOYLAND (1929), FlRE PROOF (1929) (sound).
