RARE ARBUCKLE 35MM NITRATE FILM PRINTS REDISCOVERED | Cine Museum "CineMuseum LLC has secured original 35mm nitrate positive film prints of Roscoe Arbuckle's A RECKLESS ROMEO (1917) and THE ROUGH HOUSE (1917) which features Buster Keaton! Both short subject comedies retain their original American titles and dialogue cards, making them unique and indispensable examples of these rare films. A RECKLESS ROMEO was considered a lost film until a lone print was identified within the holdings of the Norsk Filminstitutt in 1998. The discovery of this second print will allow for a new restoration and fresh appraisal of this transitional Arbuckle comedy.
Both prints suffer from nitrate decomposition but they shall be inspected, cleaned, repaired, transferred to 4K, digitally restored, and the original nitrate materials donated to a major archive for long term preservation.
A RECKLESS ROMEO and THE ROUGH HOUSE will appear on CineMuseum's new ARBUCKLE ANTHOLOGY set due late next year!"
