Ben Turpin Comedy Classics

Synopsis: Ben Turpin and his trademark crossed-eyes shot to super-stardom when he joined Mack Sennett's studio in 1917. At the height of his career he would introduce himself with, "I'm Ben Turpin; I make $3000 a week." Hardly an overnight success, he had worked for decades in the circus, vaudeville, burlesque and film before being signed by Sennett. There, his comic potential was maximized by casting him against type, as in A Harem Knight where he plays a sophisticated playboy. With the advent of sound motion pictures, he retired, having made a fortune with wise real estate investment..
