I'll sell my shirt

Description

Low comedy meets high technology in I'll Sell My Shirt, a burlesque film unseen anywhere in 3-D for over 60 years. Corky Marshall, known as "The Clown Princess of Comedy" and "Da Brooklyn Lovebird," receives top billing but the real mirthmakers are George "Beetlepuss" Lewis and Charlie Crafts, cited as "One of Burlesque's Greatest Comedy Teams" by Billboard magazine. This restoration of I'll Sell My Shirt was taken from the original 35mm left/right elements and displays Thompson's deep stereoscopic widescreen cinematography better than ever before. (It was only shown in red/green anaglyphic 3-D in its original release.) The short was rescued just in time. The elements are shrunken and rapidly deteriorating with vinegar syndrome.
