THE GOWNSHOP (1923) - Larry Semon, Oliver Hardy (A Revelation in Reconstruction)

THE GOWNSHOP (1923) - Larry Semon, Oliver Hardy (A Revelation in Reconstruction) I think it's about time we had some more Larry Semon, don't you? And one of his best, with Oliver Hardy, that doesn't seem to be easily available. BUT.... whilst reconstructing this, using sources from Europe and USA, I noticed as I was cutting it together, that some shots were different. Not different camera angles, which is fairly common, but completely different takes of the same scene! It was easier to explain on the video..... Enjoy!
(Apologies if you're not a film nerd like me but discoveries like this make me happy!)
