This Day in Buster… January 9, 1927 The Tacoma Daily Ledger tells that Joseph M. Schenck proudly boasts that the famous Texas falling scene that had cost $1k to produce in a model shot was worth spending $40k on: “This scene must be so thrilling that it will bring spectators to their feet. Plunge one of the Civil War locomotives through the burning bridge, no matter how much it costs.” #classichollywood #oldhollywood #vintagehollywood #busterkeaton #hollywood #damfino #cinema #oldhollywoodmovies
