Strap-on Pie Girls' post about the 1941 short has prompted me to start a thread to try and collect clips, knowledge and recommendations for similar silent era piefights. I know it was really popular back in those days and although I have no idea how many are still around on youtube and so, I'm sure some of you guys probably do, right? The Three Stooges are probably the most obvious and commonly referred but can anyone point me towards others?
Most of the silent-film-era shorts and movies haven't survived... At least not the ones with pie fights. In fact, nearly half of BOTC (9 of its 19 minutes) remain lost... We're just fortunate that the pie fight footage is the piece that survived.
