Joy Land (1929) - Lupino Lane

<< < (2/2)

metaldams:
Glad you liked this one, Sam.  Lack of memorable persona seems to be a criticism I’ve heard before about Lupino Lane, but I think he has just enough persona given his physical ability being able to carry a short.  Don’t know if he ever made starring features, but it’d be interesting to see what he can do.  I know he played supporting roles in a lot of musical features in the talking era.

Freddie Sanborn:
Lane didn’t really move into leading roles until he returned to England in 1930. He starred in and directed a lot of musical comedies until he hit on the play (and film) that set him up for life: Me and My Girl aka The Lambeth Walk.
