Who Selected These Short Subjects?

Do you remember the comedy short subjects that used to be part of every movie show, or are you not old enough to have great-grandchilden? Nick Santa Maria and Will Ryan have invented two ex-Vaudevillians, Biffle and Shooster, who starred in many of them, creatures of puns, set phrases and Three-Stooges-like eyepokes and Michael Schlesinger, winner of the 2007 Monster Kid of the Year Award has written, directed and generally cajoled a lot of professionals who you would expect would have better things to do with their time into helping out with a series of shorts that recreate the lost children of Hollywood's Not-So-Golden Years.

In this one, Biffle & Schooster are shoehorned into a mystery short, where they serve mostly to offer comedic reactions to the other actors --who play actors of the 1930s playing their roles, including Frank Dietz doing a dead-on imitation of Edmund Lowe as "Milo Nance" -- S.S. Van Dyne's Philo Vance. Fans of the era's movies will have a great time, and those unfamiliar with them will enjoy the comedy.
