Well done, BBM2. Thanks for hosting, Mattrom.

Many thanks to Rossim for the vote, greatly appreciated. Also, my thanks to Tyke51, Jono, Ginge and Fieryjack for the just as welcome mentions.

congrats bbm2

thanks mattrom. what was that clip from? i think i recognised buster keaton, but it's not one i've seen.

Well done BBM2 - enjoyed the clip Mattrom, I was on the right track!
Thanks for your vote Chrise and Jono & Spike2 for mentions - much appreciated.

I'm not sure, Chrise. Perhaps it was shot for "Our Hospitality", but not all of it was used in the final movie?

Congrats Bbm2 and thanks Mattrom enjoyed the clip.
Cheers for the appreciation Faiton, I’m still a PD novice, and the suggestion Chris (you may well be right though it would be particularly fiendish as a single word. I expect you saw Philistine’s “Dire peril” this week which it was loosely based on).

thanks mattrom. image quality suggests that it was later than "the general", for instance

btw yes, i did see the "dire peril (6)" clue, jono!

Well done, Marty, and thanks for hosting, mattrom. Thanks also to aristo, buddy and Dorrien for the votes, and to ginge, fiery and Paul for the mentions.

Thrilled to bits, this lifts the gloom as I start two weeks isolation before a knee operation !

Thanks for your votes mathsprof, ginge, fiery, peter and paul. Cheers for the mention dorrien.

Hats off to mattrom for providing a fruitful word, running the show and a wonderful prize. The more one sees and learns about Keaton at his peak, the more impressive the scale and scope of his genius becomes clear. I wonder what he could have achieved in the modern era.

See you all next week

Marty

PS. Kudos to jono for his PD
