And yeah, this does remain as an inpiration to Woody's much loved Purple Rose of Cairo - thanks for pointing that out.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-67687494190993982482012-12-10T09:51:38.120+05:302012-12-10T09:51:38.120+05:30Great capsule review of one of the silent era'...Great capsule review of one of the silent era's most celebrated comedies by a silent clown genius.

I'd personally place the two on par, despite this being a short - maybe not in terms of sheer comic or anarchist value, but surely on the merit of that incredible sequence of rapid cuts when he enters into the movie.<br /><br />By the way, do share your name.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-48551324553499836122012-12-05T01:06:01.499+05:302012-12-05T01:06:01.499+05:30Great film, my second favourite Keaton right behin...Great film, my second favourite Keaton right behind The General.
