Poor Chase
Sherman Said It (1933)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Poor Charley Chase short has him playing a soldier during WW1 who doesn't know the war has ended. Once he finally learns he still has trouble leaving France. This is one of those comedies where it seems the filmmakers forgot they were making a comedy because there doesn't even seem to be an attempt to bring any laughs. Chase sleepwalks through his role and doesn't add anything and the supporting cast are all forgettable.
As of now the Chase Columbia titles aren't on DVD but they do play on TCM quite often.
