Groucho, Duck Soup, and Buster Keaton

TCM is airing Duck Soup tonight. It was filmed at the Jewett estate where Keaton filmed Cops and Born to Kill was also filmed. You can see the connections here https://silentlocations.wordpress.com/2 ... tt-estate/

Cheers, John

Thanks, John, intriguing stuff as always. I'll watch Cops and Duck Soup together next time around.

Thanks, John. I'm guessing Buster used the Jewett estate primarily in the opening shot(s) ... ?
