| User ReviewKevin NW.C. Fields' first film contains some very funny moments and immediately begins to shape the character he would quickly become, but its clunky structure feels like it's missing several sequences. The story jumps back and forth between some kind of bourgeoisie party and a pool hall, and Fields frequents both; the result is a chaotic string of gleefully violent gags and fun little billiard trick shots that make this short film worth checking out but certainly not essential. |
| User ReviewDavid Kwc fields first movie. its not that it isnt funny, but this just doesnt have the laughs or charm of the later talking fields and certainly not chaplin. |
