	Fatty Arbuckle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arbuckle was particularly fond of the famous "pie in the face," a cliché that has come to signify silent film comedy in general.
		The friendship between Arbuckle and Keaton never wavered, even when Arbuckle was beset by tragedy at the zenith of his career, and through the period of depression and downfall that followed.
		Ironically, one of the very few of Arbuckle's feature-length films known to survive, Leap Year, had been one of two finished films Paramount held back from release at the time the scandal broke; while it was eventually released in Europe after the acquittal, it was never theatrically released in the United States nor in Britain.
