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. In the romantic comedy The Reckless Age Denny plays an insurance agent who insinuates himself into the case of a wealthy heiress. In Skinner’s Dress Suit, directed by comedy ace William A. Seiter (Sons of the Desert), he is a shy clerk who asks his boss for a raise at the urging of his wife. His request is rejected, but he lies to his wife, who immediately goes out and buys an expensive suit, an act that upends his once-ordered life. And in What Happened to Jones, also directed by Seiter, Denny plays a wealthy young bachelor on the night before his wedding. He is convinced to attend a poker party which is promptly raided, sending him on the run in a series of increasingly hilarious disguises. |

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
captures were taken directly from the
Blu-ray
disc.
On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use robust DTS-HD Master stereo tracks (24-bit) with the
original English intertitles on Skinner's Dress Suit and What
Happened to Jones but redone (newer) on The Reckless Age. On
The Reckless Age the musical accompaniment is by Jake Monaco, for
Skinner's Dress Suit it is by Leo Birenberg and for What
Happened to Jones it is by Anthony Willis. They are all young-ish
composers who have worked in a variety of mediums including animated
features and shorts. The scores are modern and lively - generally fun
and supportive of the silent era comedies. I particularly liked the
variety utilized in Birenberg's score on Skinner's Dress Suit's. Kino's
two discs are Region 'A'
Blu-rays.
The Kino
Blu-ray
I agree with
Anthony Slide that The Reckless Age
is not a great film, but that it is entertaining. The other two; Skinner's Dress
Suit and What Happened to Jones? both made in 1926 are very
good, social, and timeless, comedies. I was so pleased to see these
Reginald Denny films on Kino
Blu-ray.
He is definitely been out of the conversation for a long time and I look
forward to more of his work - extremely popular in its time, to continue
to get released in 1080P.
Silent Era aficionados should consider this collection essential.
