Brotherly Love is a 1928 sound part-talkie comedy film produced and distributed by MGM and directed by Charles Reisner. It is a starring vehicle for the comedy team of Karl Dane and George K. Arthur. Young Jean Arthur supports the comedy duo. In addition to sequences with audible dialogue or talking sequences, the film features a synchronized musical score and sound effects along with English intertitles. The soundtrack was recorded using the Western Electric sound-on-film system.[1][2]
Some publicity photos from the film show Dane with Buster Keaton, but it is not clear whether Keaton had a cameo in the film that was later cut or merely posed for a gag photo while visiting the set.[3]
One copy, with sound discs, is in the collection of the UCLA Film & Television Archive.[4] The Library of Congress database lists no copies.[5]
