Some things were preserved and others were demolished or cut in half. I see they kept part of the dressing room.. it's just one of those things, that you'd wish was complete untouched, it's a bit upsetting. you can definitely see change. I love how you pointed each area out- great demographics.

Very well done - enjoyed watching this! Thank you.

I ❤ this! Thank you 😊

Irregardless of how it was done Harold Lloyd was truly the greatest and deserved all the money he made.

Yea, buildings are different, but wooden pols are the same!

😅😂❤ J'adore

위대한 업적을 남긴 찰리채플린. 당신을 사랑하고 존경합니다.

Un des chefs d oeuvres du génie Buster keaton et sont film préféré. Pourtant le film ne sera pas succè qu' il espérait ainsi que la production qui s'en souviendra . Au fur et à mesure pour Buster Keaton l étau va se resserrer surtout quand il va se retrouver à la MGM .

This was beyond masterful in the way that it was researched and put together. VERY Well done!!

What software do you use to be able to make so many different effects ? Like that effect with the yellow circle moving at 1:33

Thanks for your efforts, it's much appreciated.

Your map work is magnificent.

Another gem of a video, thank you.

Amazing to see the locations of this masterpiece brought to light! Thank you for putting this together, I've always wondered where it was filmed.

Loimbard Street isn't even the crookedest in San Francisco - try Vermont at 22nd

Wow, a masterpiece itself. There's a beautiful story here...about the story-makers. I have been to these places but could never put them all together in my head. You even managed to find the BIRD'S EYE VIEW, showing us the where and how. I can see it now. You've pulled it all together in such a way that it is much like taking our hands and showing us what was always there, hiding in plain sight. John, you must love this stuff as much as we do...only you have the tech skills. Wow, like a new art form. Sorry! I'll shut up now! Thank you!

Marvelous, John. Thank you for all you've done for Buster's fans over these many years.

OUTstanding!

Absolutely wonderful video with a gorgeous score! Loved every second of this! Thank you for the painstaking work.

Once again, thank you so much for posting your videos. I'm currently reading James Curtis' book on Buster. An excellent read.

Fantastic!

It is sad to see how much these cities have changed, ugh, progress. I am glad he filmed where he felt the most comfortable during this time (memories of Roscoe 😢), plus he had so much going on in his life. It was such a shame he was not given a dressing room while employed at MGM. I do believe the apartment was also his home away from home at times. I am just so happy to see another new video from you Mr. Bergtson, great job and thank you for your hard work.

Fantastic!

Loved this, and seeing that some of the buildings in the shots remain today is lovely.

Always great to see a new video. The side by sides are the easiest to follow without having to keep pausing. A wonderful journey. It would be great to see their (Keaton-Chaplin-Lloyd) homes, and graves.

Who else is covering and doing stories about movies made hundred years ago? Thank God for you John..

These videos are great. I had a studio in the bank building on the corner of Hollywood and Cahuenga for years and probably walked past the Chaplin-Keaton-Lloyd Alley a hundred times and never knew what a treasure it was until I started watching these videos….and the movies associated with it have been some of my favorites for quite some time. Keep up the good work!

Magnificent.

As always, a fantastic job! I live in Santa Monica (still) so it's always fun seeing my city from so long ago. Pretty much, the only location still around from when Buster was at the Santa Monica Pier is the Louff Carousel. Which can also be seen in The Sting. But they had to cover the windows since it was supposed to be Chicago, and the Pacific Ocean would be a very odd thing to see from Chicago. I didn't get that when I first saw The Sting since I was about 12 years old, and so I never could figure out how everyone got to California so fast. 🤣🤣 Fun fact (at 5:52) : Between the Carousel and what used to be the bowling alley is a passageway, where you can find a stairwell. At that point is where Hooker (Robert Redford) meets Billie (Eileen Brennan) in The Sting. The stairwell is still around too.

Love this!

My only complaint is that the pictures flashed too quickly. Several times I had to rewind the scenes! PS: But I still gave it a thumbs uo. ;-)

Excellent video! Makes me wish even harder for a time machine! Thank You!

The most amazing 8 minutes on TH-cam!

Brilliant research, as ever, and beautifully communicated. Thanks, John, for sharing your knowledge with us.

Awesome editing. Loved it.

Such great work!! Great visuals and excellently put together. This is my NEIGHBORHOOD nowadays!!

This is EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!!!

Beautifully done. Thanks you for sharing.

I love these videos

Thanks for the new video Mr. Bengtson. Sad to see what happened to Buster Keaton’s studio. Guess that is what is called PROGRESS in Hollywood 😢. Thank you, at least you preserve what was to what is for all of us to see.

Nice piano music which is uplifting!

Great vid, so glad to see so much still remains, sad about Busters studio though

Interesting how there was a large gas-o-meter tank right next to the Pickford-Fairbanks studio. I had read a while back that the Chaplin Studio was moved farther in from the street in the late 1940s, when the street was widened.

I love these videos so much. Very nice job fading from past to present.

Awesome, love old Hollywood.

Wow ! This was such a great video! Absolutely love seeing all the then-and-now shots, including some houses/buildings still standing! Thank you! Just love The General to pieces.

Loved this. Well done mate!

beautiful, Thank you

Great stuff, John!
