Date Sold 11/22/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Parlor, Bedroom and Bath, the 1931 Edward Sedgwick romantic comedy ("The funniest picture ever made!"; "You'll have to be carried out - you'll laugh so hard at - Buster Keaton in Parlor Bedroom and Bath"; "From the play by Charles W. Bell & Mark Swan") starring Buster Keaton, Charlotte Greenwood, Reginald Denny, Cliff Edwards, Joan Peers, Dorothy Christy, and Natalie Moorhead. This movie was filmed in three languages with three different casts (with the exception of Buster Keaton, who played the lead in each) and with three different titles, "Parlor, Bedroom, and Bath" (English version), "Casanova wider Willen" (German version), and "Buster se Marie" (French version). In the end of the silent era, studios made fortunes distributing their best movies all over the world, because it was a simple matter to change the "inter-titles" (which appeared on screen telling what the characters were saying) into many other languages, which meant that a popular U.S. movie played all over the world, as did German movies, French movies, etc. But when sound began, this worldwide distribution was crippled! The studios decided to start filming their best movies in more than one language, and this occurred in many 1931 movies, the most famous being Dracula. It had both an English language version and a Spanish language version, with entirely different casts and directors, and the U.S. actors worked in the daytime, and the Spanish actors worked at night! In the case of movies where the star was very important to the movie (like Laurel & Hardy or Buster Keaton), that star would speak their lines phonetically, but the rest of the cast would be different for each language. On a few very major productions, the movies were filmed in THREE languages with three different casts and directors! This continued into 1932 and 1933, but it added hugely to production costs, and studios finally decided that dubbing made more sense, and the practice completely vanished.
