The Matrimaniac
A young couple attempts to elope, with the bride's irate father in hot pursuit. The train stops briefly and the young man dashes off to find a minister, but before he can get himself and the minister onto the train, it leaves, carrying his bride-to- be away. Now the young man, minister in tow, pursues his bride while her father and a horde of lawmen pursue them both.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Griffith constructs the chase with a keen sense of spatial comedy, relying on precise timing and exaggerated physicality. He explores the absurdity of modern haste through a series of escalating mishaps.
Those who tire of cynical humor will find joy in this innocent, frantic race against time. What lingers after the final reel is the charm of a simpler comedic language. — MovieFinder Editorial
