Brotherly Love is a 1928 part-silent, 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. While essentially a silent film, the movie had music with sound effects and talking sequences.[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]
