Reginald Denny established himself as one of the top comic actors of the silent era, popular with movie audiences as the sophisticated leading man in a series of light romantic comedies, similar to William Powell or Cary Grant a decade later. With a prolific career spanning both the silent and sound eras, Denny’s endearing persona and talent for comedy ensured that he remained a familiar face in movies for several decades. But he found his greatest success in the 1920s, and these three Jazz Age classics showcase Denny at the height of his stardom. These sparkling 4K restorations give a new generation of movie fans an opportunity to re-discover the delightful silent film comedies of Reginald Denny.
Synopsis: The Reginald Denny Collection gathers three silent features from the career of the debonair British star: The Reckless Age, Skinner’s Dress Suit, and What Happened to Jones? The former amateur boxing champion made his name in a series of two-reelers about the fighting life, The Leather Pushers (1922), but soon made his way up to leading man.
Dillon is most comfortable sitting around in a theatre all day watching both big budget and independent movies.
