About
Music has always been an essential element of the cinema-going experience. Before the advent of the 'Talkies', a pianist employed by the cinema would improvise a soundtrack to silent movies.
Pianist, composer and much-loved broadcaster Neil Brand recreates the experience a century on from the golden age of the silver screen silent comedies. Charlie Chaplin's Tramp initiates the greatest roller-skating chase of all time, Buster Keaton unwittingly ends up as a paid assassin for a bunch of crooks (and features in another breathtaking chase sequence) and Harold Lloyd's bespectacled lovelorn hero dodges girders and cranes on a half-built skyscraper high above Los Angeles. The three undisputed giants of the silent film comedy come together in one spectacular display of improvisation, imagination and film-making genius from the early days of cinema.
