A delightful black and white "silent" comedy acknowledging a debt to Chaplin and Buster Keaton, 19 September 2000
Author: stebmarc from United States

The film is a beautifully photographed and outrageously funny example of visual story telling at its very best. Performances by all the leading characters are breathtakingly good and never for a moment overdone. I saw this film at the Taos Film Festival 2000 and it was by far the most memorable of the 10 or 12 I saw. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about the art and history of film making.
