For many, the DVD release, and the August TCM showing of, The Red Mill will have a special value. Now, those who study Roscoe Arbuckle's directing skill, after 1921-1922, can learn more about this silent film genius .Clearing Up a Misunderstanding: At birth, Roscoe was given the name "Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle". His father's name was "William Goodrich Arbuckle". In his entertainment career, Roscoe used the name "Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle". In 1921 and 1922, Roscoe was charged with manslaughter involving a film actress, Virginia Rappe. Although he was exonerated in court, Roscoe was given only limited work, mostly directing or other jobs behind the camera. Because a hostile and vocal public still condemned him, Roscoe thought it best that he become as anonymous as possible. A partial solution was to go by, in his work, the name "William Goodrich". Roscoe used the pseudonym from 1925-1932. He died in 1933.
