“Film Comedy’s Eves” Watchalong

You know how, when you read a book on film, you inevitably inflate your to-watch list to untenable levels (or pause your reading to check some titles out)? Or is that just me?

On that note, I’ve been reading Steve Massa’s Slapstick Divas: The Women of Silent Comedy. So far, it’s an expansive, indispensable survey of the work of women in the early days of film comedy with a few cheeky extras thrown in. As a devotee of The Silent Comedy Watch Party, I was already familiar with some of the women Steve profiles in the book, but obviously I wanted to see as much of their work as possible.

So, I put together a playlist featuring most of the women from the first chapter of the book, “Film Comedy’s Eves.” The list below was curated based on the prominence of the women in the film as well as general quality (although how good a comedy is is highly subjective!), but the youtube playlist has a few more titles included.

Two quick presentation notes: 

Some of the videos have music and some don’t, so you may want to check your volume level. 

The intertitles for some of these films are not in English, so be sure you have captions turned on for English translations.

I didn’t do write-ups for the films or the divas because if these films interest you, you should check out Steve’s book! I would also be remiss if I didn’t note that many of the women from this chapter of Slapstick Divas are featured on the Cinema’s First Nasty Women set. (See if your local library has a copy!)

I want to do more COE fanart, so that means i need to get better at drawing lion anthros lmao

I don't think ive ever actually practiced any sort of anthro feline characters in all my years, because im a creature of habit

here I tried to design Marcus and one of his wives, Kayala.

They..... don't look AT ALL how I imagined them, so I'm not sure how I managed that lol

but I think its a good start

NMÄDCHEN IN UNIFORM  (1931) dir. CARL FROELICH, LEONTINE SAGAN

[chronophotographic-gun]

Mädchen in Uniform (1931)

"...Goebbels tried to eviscerate all copies of the film, in equal parts a landmark of queer cinema, a groundbreaking lesbian love story, and a cogent antifascist statement. Made by women who intimately understood and delighted in women, Mädchen in Uniform is a reminder, now as ever, that if enough of us stand up for each other, we can all be safe, together."

➥ the first (real) lesbian kiss in cinema
