10/10
Search high and low for it, and if it's playing at a festival SEE IT! You can thank me later...
3 June 2006
I saw this silent film under ideal circumstances, at a film festival using a tinted print accompanied by live & perfectly melded musical interpretation and with an appreciative audience. So with out hesitation I gave it a 10 out of 10 because it could not have been any better. The performances of the leads where charmingly enchanting, the plot simple and easy to identify with the comedy situation were refreshing. I walked out of this screening actually feeling refreshed when I over heard a fellow lucky viewer quoting the great William K. Everson who said of the title, "this is the kind of sublime film comedy that could not be repeated today." Later I would track down a fuzzy copy on VHS polluted with music that did not match the action. Search high and low for it, and if it's playing at a festival SEE IT! You can thank me later...
