Review of Pool Sharks

Pool Sharks (1915)
5/10
Merely a Curiosity
19 January 2017
W. C. Fields, sporting a ridiculous mustache, is apparently interested in a young lady. As he comes on to her, an adversary in a checkered suit, confronts him. Soon they engage in a tit for tat thing, hitting each other, flipping over a hammock. As it escalates, a group of men drag the participants into a pool hall. It's hard to know for sure, but perhaps the one who wins the game gets the girl. The pool game presents us with a series of stop action film with pool balls moving around in strange ways. It's never clear how one wins the game. Ultimately, everything ends in a series of violent events. Other than the fact that this is the first film for Fields, it's hardly worth the time.
