Keystone Cops - Bangville Police
Uploaded by: paulosham
Video Description:
The Keystone Cops was a series of silent film comedies featuring an incompetent group of policemen produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Film Company between 1912 and 1917. The idea came from Hank Mann, who also played police chief Tehiezel in the first film before being replaced by Ford Sterling. Their first film was Hoffmeyer's Legacy (1912) but their popularity came from the 1913 feature The Bangville Police starring Mabel Normand. However, as early as 1914 Sennett shifted the cops from starring roles to background ensemble, in support of comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle.
