The review
The first long Keystone comedy is a hit of its kind, not The Spoilers. A rube is told she has inherited money. A con man and his girl move in. Marie Dressler, Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand. A house can watch it. The slapstick is the product, and the fortune is the bait. I felt the next gag being lined up as the reason to stay.
I got tired of being trained. Nobody in it has a job that matters, a child to feed, or a reason to refuse the grab. A lie about an inheritance starts the night, and the title already says the romance will not hold. Put it on if the house wants a 1914 comedy and can name the con. It does not leave you a household.
Journal
Keep Tillie's Punctured Romance in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 25. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Hollywood Dirt
36 instead of 25
Hollywood Dirt is still a comedy film, and it scores 36 instead of 25. What you gain is household: A divorce behind him, a woman who wants a different life.
The eight
- 3Industry
The con is the only work on screen, and Keystone's job is the next gag.
- 2Household
A rube, a con man, and his girl: the romance is a puncture, not a home.
- 2Piety
Nothing in the inheritance story asks a conscience to refuse the money.
- 3Courage
The comics take the falls; nobody risks a thing they would miss.
- 2Republic
A private swindle of one rube, with no town and no law that matters.
- 2Temperance
The fortune is the bait, and the slapstick trains you for the next laugh.
- 4Truth
She is told she inherited money; the title says that romance will not hold.
- 2Stewardship
What you keep is a Keystone feature, not a fortune and not a household.
