A set of 32 silent Pathe Our Gang shorts is coming from Laughsmith Entertainment.

OUR GANG: BEFORE THE LITTLE RASCALS SPOKE!

Laughsmith Entertainment - Motion Picture Preservation and Production

No street date mentioned, but the kicker is an HD remaster from archival or surviving sources.

It's been in production for over a year now, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Re: Our Gang SILENTS coming from Laughsmith

Why ?


I've been tracking this website for at least 3 years now. They seem like a small operation and this sort of work takes a long time. I hope that they haven't hit a snag and that things are only taking longer than they originally planned.

This set contains some of the very best surviving prints, restored and remastered in HD with breathtaking results, and footage that is unavailable anywhere else. Many archives and generous individuals have contributed to help make this the definitive silent Our Gang collection.

(Yes, Joe, there is also an additional disc featuring a large selection of rare imitator comedies.)

The release has been delayed because of a series of disputes with our former distributor. When these issues have been resolved we will report the details here.

We truly appreciate everyone's continued patience.
