'Too Much Johnson' may have been too much for Orson Welles, Eastman Museum finds

Originally published on March 17, 2021 5:56 am
The images are black and white, the movements of the actors are herky-jerky, which is what we’re used to seeing in silent films. The acting is hammy: Edgar Barrier twists the ends of his handlebar mustache! And the antics are slapstick: Joseph Cotton deftly scampers across an endless landscape of New York City rooftops, wrestling with uncooperative ladders.
But there is mystery to this antic madness. The film, “Too Much Johnson,” is not from the 1920s. It was shot in 1938, produced and directed by Orson Welles. His other significant project that year was the infamous radio production of H.G. Wells’ “The War of the Worlds.” ....

George Eastman Museum receives 20 reels of rare 35mm nitrate films

George Eastman Museum receives 20 reels of rare 35mm nitrate films
The Gold Rush (1925). Tinted nitrate print.
ROCHESTER, NY
.-The George Eastman Museum has recently received a donation of 20 reels, from 12 identified titles, of rare 35mm nitrate and diacetate film prints from historian John Goodman of Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
We are very grateful to Mr. Goodman for this donation of nitrate films, said Peter Bagrov, Curator in Charge of the Moving Image Department, George Eastman Museum. The gift contains several rarities including a vintage tinted reel of Charlie Chaplins The Gold Rush, made in 1925. Its a bit of a mystery, Bagrov added. Chaplin himself was not fond of tinting, and all of the known release prints of this film are in black and white. Even though the print is incomplete, this beautifully tinted reel is a great discovery and adds a new dimension to our understanding of how films were presented during the silent era. ....
