Featured review
Strange, but interesting. DVD needs help.
This is a strange, sometimes misogynistic, and sometimes racially stereotypical film, reflective of the time in which it was made. It fascinates on a historical level, and on a foundational comedic level. You can see the trademark Oliver Hardy gestures in development, and his interaction with Larry Semon foretells his film relationship with Stan Laurel. Some cute little animation effects (a bee enters one of Semon's ears only to exit from the other), reflective of Disney's contemporaneous mix of live action and animation.
The "digital" score and the use of a "narrator" (who horribly reads the subtitles...where did she learn to read???) is annoying.
All in all, cute, and worthy of 90 minutes.
