Auction History Result 6t1572 LIFE OF THE PARTY 8x10.25 still 1920 judge pointing at guilty Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle! Date Sold 7/2/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Life of the Party, the 1920 Joseph Henabery silent politics corruption slapstick comedy ("America's funniest comedian stars in it!"; "From the story by Irvin S. Cobb" about a woman who is fighting to have women nurse their babies rather than buy bottled milk, and she goes to a judge to help her organization, not knowing he is in the pay of the milk company, and she gets an attorney to help her, and he seems incompetent, but he not only ends up helping her win, but he also becomes mayor and wins her hand in marriage) starring Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle ("By arrangement with Joseph M. Schenck"), Winifred Greenwood, Roscoe Karns, Julia Faye, and Frank Campeau. The title of this movie is sadly very ironic, because Fatty Arbuckle is referred to as "The Life of the Party". Just one year after this movie was made, Arbuckle, at the height of his fame, hosted a Hollywood party later referred to as "The Wild Party", where up-and-coming actress Virginia Rappe died, and Arbuckle was tried for her murder, and even though he was acquitted several times, it ruined his career. If only he hadn't been the "life" of THAT party, he would have surely had a very long and successful career. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good.
