When Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and the child stars of Our Gang enter the screen, chaos is inevitable. Four highlights of the short slapstick comedy challenge the laughing muscles of children, parents and grandparents to perform at their best.
The director and actor Roscoe Arbuckle, alleged inventor of the cake fight in the film, was the discoverer of Buster Keaton, who made his protégé a star with, among other things, The Hayseed . Arbuckle's career ended in 1921 because of false accusations in a murder case. Despite his acquittal, he was not rehabilitated in Hollywood and his films were forgotten for decades. According to Buster Keaton, the great comedian died of a broken heart.
Although it only lasts 32 minutes, considers The Pawnshop Chaplin's biographer David Robinson from each prop to be the one with the most ideas of all Chaplin's films. The artist creates a gag , with the objects being repurposed one by one: the ukulele becomes a wooden spoon, the mouthpiece of a telephone becomes a jeweler's loupe, a dough mangle becomes a dish dryer.
In Get Out And Get Under , Harold Lloyd, the young, shy man with circular glasses and an equally circular straw hat, shows tremendous strength to overcome his nightmare with the help of a Ford Model T automobile to snatch his beloved from the arms of the wrong man at the last minute, even if he has to go on stage as a swordsman to do so. He gratefully accepts the audience's ovation.
The group of child actors who have become legendary in Germany as “Little Rascals” live in their 74th film adventure Barnum & Ringling, Inc. in a posh but boring hotel. She decides to put on a circus with her colorful collection of dressed-up pets, which gets out of control and causes chaos throughout the hotel. Although the adult detective ends the chaos at the end, the last image - and our sympathy - is of a stork stumbling drunkenly through the ballroom with a hiccup.
