Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015

really excited to receive one of the very first shipped and it was a true blast attaching 4 more WHIRLS of MUSTY Suffer and the incredo Actor's Fund film made at the Polo Grounds showing Ziegfeld stars Watson & Bickel rock it out as clowns. I was a backer of this project initially, and know the producer, but he did not ask I write this. I endorse this because it is a fine product in every way from clarity to packaging to the platforming of the architecture of the DVD. It's great stuff and I'm thrilled to have it.

"Lights...Action...Musty (Take 2)

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2015

This is a great companion piece to the first volume of Musty Suffer films, and I recommend it to everyone, whether you have the first release or not. Volume 2 gives us another visit to the hilarious and surreal world that Musty barely survives in. Either you're laughing at his antics, or your jaw is dropping in suspended disbelief at his predicaments. The bonus features on this disc are amazing as well, and offer a great glimpse into not just the early days of film making, but the talented individuals who worked both in front of, and behind, the cameras.

サイレント期の知られざるコメディアン主演シリーズ集の第2弾

Reviewed in Japan on March 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

映画史とは、どうしても有名な作品や俳優で語られてしまうものだが、その裏には名前も忘れられた膨大な量の作品や俳優が静かに潜んでいるのは言うまでもない。

ハリー・ワトソン・Jr.(1876-1965)もまた、そんな映画史の表舞台には登場しないコメディアンだ。1910年に映画界に入り、1916年から1917年には、”The Mishaps of Musty Suffer”という主演シリーズでそれなりに人気を得たようだが、残念ながら大成はしなかった。おそらく、彼の名前を知っているのは、コメディに精通した一握りの映画史家や評論家に限り、一般の映画ファンにはほとんど知られていないだろう。

本DVD-Rは、そのワトソン・Jr.主演の”The Mishaps of Musty Suffer”シリーズ4本を収めたもの。” The Mishaps of Musty Suffer:Volume 1 ”に続く第2弾になる。

収録されている作品は下記の通り。

●”Out of Order” (1916)

職探しをしていたマスティ(ハリー・ワトソン・Jr.)は、妖精にお願いし、遊戯場での仕事を得る。切符切り、靴磨き、射撃…とあらゆる業務担当を兼務しているうちに…。

●”Showing Some Speed” (1916)

自転車のメッセンジャー・ボーイのマスティ(ハリー・ワトソン・Jr.)は、荷物の配達業務から厄介な伝言業務まで行っている。そんな彼のもとに、ギャンブルのイカサマで窮地に陥った客から至急来て欲しいとの連絡が入り…。

●”Musty’s Vacation” (1916)

無料食券を手にしてレストランに来たマスティ(ハリー・ワトソン・Jr.)だったが、食券の写真が本人の姿とかけ離れているという理由で断られてしまう。そこで、マスティは、写真の姿に似せようと整形外科施術を受けることにするのだが…。

●”Strictly Private” (1916)

マスティ(ハリー・ワトソン・Jr.)は、野性馬を捕まえて調教し、苦難の末に馬車業を始める。早速、お客を乗せることになるのだが…。

元々、ワトソンJr.は、リングリング・ブラザーズ・アンド・バーナム・アンド・ベイリー・サーカスの道化師としてキャリアを積み、その後、ジーグフェルド・フォリーズでも活躍した、たたき上げの人物。本作でも、大きな付け鼻をし、口のまわりにヒゲそり跡を誇張して描いた、どこか捨て犬を思わせるようなデフォルメしたおかしな顔(寄り目で、への字口する十八番の表情は、後のレッド・スケルトンや堺俊二のそれを連想させる)で、”Mishaps”の題名通り、様々な災難に巻き込まれて、その正統的な道化ならではのドタバタの動き(当時、すでに40歳ながら良く動く！)や仕草で笑わせてくれる。そこにシュールなギャグが加わり、奇妙な味わいと独特の世界観を持つシリーズになっている。

決してスマートではなく、アクも強い笑いではあるものの、コメディアンとしての芸は一級のものなので、ワトソンが、人気者となり、映画史に名を残せなかったのは、ただ単純にタイミングや運の問題(同時期にライバルのコメディアンが多かったことも理由だろう)だったということになるのだろう。

本DVD-Rは、サイレント作品の伴奏音楽家、映画史家として有名なベン・モデルが興した米Undercrank Productionsから発売されたもの。

マスターには、米国議会図書館所蔵の35mm素材をフィルム・スキャンして作成されたHDマスターを使用。徹底的なレストアはされていないので、パラ、キズなどは残っているものの、白黒諧調は豊かで、ディテール表現も精細な画質。ベン・モデルによる伴奏音楽も、作品に実に良く合っている。

特典には、以下の2本が収録。一本は、ワトソンも出演している野球場での芸人たちの演目を捉えたニュース映像、もう一本は、ワトソンの盟友ジョージ・ビッケルと組んだシリーズの再編集短縮版。

●”Actors Fund Field Day” (1910)
●”The Fixer” (1915)

本DVD-Rは、北米盤ながら、R-All仕様なので、日本の通常のR-2プレーヤーで視聴可能だ。

パッケージ・ソフト市場が大幅に縮小している中(それも、サイレント作品という、さらなるニッチな領域)、ワトソンという知られざるコメディアンのシリーズを素晴らしい質で出してくれたことだけでも感謝しかないのだが、せっかく最良の35mm素材を使ってHDテレシネをしたのだから、もう少し頑張って、Blu-rayやDVDのプレス盤として発売して欲しかった…という思いもなくはない。
