I’ve watched (and loved) a lot of silent films over the years. And adding silent movie images to the Last Kiss mix isn’t as unlikely as it might first seem.
In fact, it was the old TV show
Fractured Flickers—which added silly, dubbed dialogue to silent movies—that partially inspired my creation of Last Kiss. It was funny stuff—and no wonder.
Fractured Flickers was created by
Jay Ward, the genius behind the
Rocky & Bullwinkle show.
I’ve got at least one more of these silent screen sillies coming up soon in Last Kiss. I hope people enjoy ’em. I’ve love to do more.
