I got Silent Traces when it first came out. John, I too have driven miles and miles, round and around downtown looking for Chaplin's film location. And when I got you book and found the spots, I just stood there and became emotional. Thank you so much for your devotion and dedication to the Silent Film Pioneers
I consider “Go West” as one of his more underrated and under-appreciated films. It’s a favorite of mine, not only because I love cows and I love Buster (both in one film🩷), but also because, as you said, it was meticulously orchestrated. I appreciate the work you put into these, and your narration is personal and helpful. Thank you for continuing to honor Buster’s legacy this way.
He was such an innovative film maker with a great imagination. I can just imagine Buster and his film friends working up stories, cost, filming destinations, props, etc…. And just knowing that all of this was done without a script!!! OMG, he was and is and in my book will always be considered a genius in the motion picture industry.
Wow, that's great! Thank you for sharing. Have you seen my Seven Chances video? Buster had two Mercer Roadsters, both in the film. They had nearly sequential license plate numbers - see here ruclips.net/video/hES9RjLxrkA/видео.htmlsi=MBSPjkViKmBagLsU&t=188

Well done, as usual.

Thanks for all your efforts.
Fascinating as always. Thank you!
Ah, I would've loved to see his north and south journeys in the final cut.
Always so excited to see a new Silent Locations video appear in my notifications!
Great work! Thank you!
