What Fatty Does For It
Any resemblance between this Fatty Arbuckle short and Greta Garbo's first incarnation in Anna Karenina which was entitled Love for the silent screen exists only in a mind that's really strange. Fatty goes through quite a lot to win the woman of his dreams.
Known today mostly for the scandal that brought him down, Roscoe Arbuckle was a pretty funny fellow and very agile for a man of his bulk as this short subject Love will demonstrate. It's a typical Arbuckle short so I'm told with Fatty as the poor honest farmhand looking to win the hand of his lady love in this case Winifred Westover.
Two other comics of note appear in Love. Al St.John who later in sound made a career of playing old timer sidekicks in westerns and Monty Banks who was better known as the husband of British entertainer Gracie Fields. St. John is Fatty's rival for Westover and the favorite of her father Frank Hayes.
Fatty goes through a variety of things including a plunge down a well which bears no small resemblance to Alice plunging down the rabbit hole and later he gets into drag to disrupt the wedding ceremony of Westover and St.John.
All very funny and we should thank the Deity that at least some of the art of Fatty Arbuckle has been preserved.
