    Unfunny Armstrong

    Robert Armstrong was the honoree at this film festival which played several of his films. I feel he didn't hit his stride until he played showman Carl Denham in "King Kong". In his silent films he is hammy and overacts and "Celebrity" is a case in point. His attempts at comedy in silents fall flat.

    Here he is a boxer who wants to improve his image by writing poetry. Program notes state the film tries to satirize the image of Champ Gene Tunney who was a well-educated boxer. I don't recommend "Celebrity" as I found it dull and lacking the basic elements of parody and especially humor.

    **** 4/10 - Website no longer prints my star rating.

    Shown at Capitolfest, Rome, NY, 8/22.
