| Post subject: | Andy Clyde Steam RR Movie Short |
I remember an Andy Clyde(lanky oldcomedian with a walrus mustache) short comedy from the VERY early sound era in which he is a rocket scientist who inherits a shortline. the old engine was some kind of cabbaged up thing with only a single set of drivers(it was not, as i recall the CP Huntington). When it broke down, they strapped a rocket to the cab roof. Anybody else remember it or know where a copy could be had? I havent seen it on TV in nearly 30 years and it hasn't shown up on any of the Vintage Station either lorija799@aol.com |

The movie is "The Cannonball." It was released in 1931 by Mack Sennet Studios, directed by Del Lord (who later directed 3 Stooges shorts). The storyline, such as it is, has Andy fixing a rocket to the roof of his locomotive to win a race with a bus. I doubt that it was ever put on video. jftrolley@aol.com |
