Mark Kearney on Film Pioneer Al Christie
Manage episode 391855522 series 3455567
Joe and Mark are joined by London, Ontario author and journalist, Mark Kearney, to talk about an early pioneer of Hollywood, Al Christie.
Christie went to Hollywood in 1911, when it was just a village, some fruit trees and farms. “There had been a few directors shooting in and around Los Angeles, but Christie was the first to film in Hollywood,” Mark says.
Christie became famous for his short comedies. The boys discuss one of these comedies, which is typical of Christie’s work, Know Thy Wife, in some detail, and the three have a fascinating conversation about the early days of Hollywood, how the film industry worked and developed, and the nature of comedy.
