Featured review
Harry Langdon made some amusing films early in his career. Then, after making some very bad career choices, his promising career began to spiral downward--until he landed, for a short time, at Hal Roach Studios. However, judging by this short, the studio had no idea what to do with Harry and the film is just awful--with practically nothing to recommend this short.
Harry dresses up in drag to impersonate the lady of the house--though exactly why we really don't know. Then, the elderly man calling on her doesn't seem to realize it's Harry and not his sweetie--indicating he's blind and/or incredibly stupid. Then, a crazy old cowboy shows up to court the same old lady and doesn't seem to realize it's Harry. This can't be chalked up to bad vision, as the cowboy begins shooting (very accurately). None of this makes any sense and the closest thing that comes to comedy is seeing Langdon in drag. The film lacks a coherent plot as well as laughs and looks more like outtakes than a film. Dull and listless from start to finish.
