Tillie’s
Punctured Romance
|
|
This
is the regional re-premiere of a film that originally
debuted about, oh, 90 years ago. Mack Sennett’s
Tillie’s Punctured Romance was the first
feature-length comedy when it was released in
1914, and the “king of comedy” spared no effort
to make it slaptacular, adapting a hit Broadway
farce and casting three stars: Charlie Chaplin
(pictured), Mabel Normand and Marie Dressler.
And, of course, the Keystone Cops. It was hugely
popular.
The print to be shown Saturday at MASS MoCA
is new, the result of a painstaking, long-term
restoration. Tillie hasn’t been seen
in a version this complete—or this completely
funny—in six or seven decades. There is also
the added attraction of live music by the Tillie’s
Nightmare Ragtime Band. Featuring Ken Winokur
of the Alloy Orchestra, Tillie’s Nightmare have
won raves for their authentic (and madcap) score
for the picture.
Tillie’s
Punctured Romance will be screened Saturday
(Aug. 12) at 8:30 PM at MASS MoCA (1040 MASS
MoCA Way, North Adams, Mass.) in Courtyard C
(weather permitting) or the Hunter Center (weather
not permitting). Tickets are $18. For
more info, call (413) 662-2111.
