Comedy film historian extraordinaire Brent Walker recently published his magnum opus:
MACK SENNETT'S FUN FACTORY
A History and Filmography of His Studio and His Keystone and Mack Sennett Comedies, with Biographies of Players and Personnel
This book, some twenty years in the making, is a comprehensive career study and filmography of the pioneering film producer and Academy Award winner Mack Sennett, cofounder of Keystone Studios, home of the Keystone Kops and other vehicles that showcased his innovative slapstick comedy.
The filmography covers the more than 1,000 films produced, directed, written by, or featuring Sennett between 1908 and 1955, including casts, credits, synopses, production and release dates, locations, cross-references of remade stories and gags, footage excerpted in compilations, identification of prints existing in archives, and other such vital information. The book also contains biographies of several hundred performers and technical personnel connected with Sennett. There are 280 photographs and a complete index in Walker's massive 671 page book!
"This incredible tome is truly the final word on Mack Sennett and all things Keystone. An indespensible volume for film scholars, devotees and casual fans alike." -- Paul E. Gierucki (Director / Historian)
