Reviews

"Thanks to a lively, affectionate writer, we can glimpse the great clowns at work." --The Dallas Morning News "[Louvish] has researched his subjects thoroughly. . . . A useful reference book and a solid overview of their careers." --The New York Times "A fan's gleeful . . . double take on the beloved bumblers of silent and talking picture fame, seeing their prodigious pile of slapstick misadventures as high art . . . Louvish's wide-eyed love for his subjects' simple, forthright, and hardworking desire to please will bring down the house." --Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Lovingly researched." --New York Daily News "Louvish has digested films, reviews, and interviews with those who knew the pair to... create fully realized human beings." --Library Journal (starred) "Brims with affection and still preserves an honest, unbiased view .... a fully rounded, well-paced portrait." --Publishers Weekly
