It also marks the first time anyone has focused exclusively on Arbuckle’s career and its many highlights. He was an established star at Mack Sennett’s Keystone Studio before Charlie Chaplin, who became a collaborator when he arrived in 1914. He started directing his own short subjects that same year and graduated to feature-length films before Chaplin. He famously ushered Buster Keaton into the world of filmmaking. He was a talented man who was known and loved the world over. Yet the scandal that ended his career has eclipsed everything else he accomplished. That’s why this book is both overdue and welcome.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e- Leonard Maltin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eReview by Travis S.D.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBen Model review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eNitrateville Radio Episode 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eArticle by Jordan Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -14px; top: 499px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50211237200129,"sku":"exa1787308053947","price":41.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1979\/5201\/files\/rediscovering-roscoe-the-films-of-fatty-arbuckle-hardback_1.jpg?v=1787308060","url":"https:\/\/www.juniperavenue.shop\/products\/rediscovering-roscoe-the-films-of-fatty-arbuckle-hardback","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
