When Ben Bolted

1917
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Ben and his pal Paddy, a couple of drifting loafers and con-men, arrive in town via a "side-door Pullman" - a free ride in a boxcar. They set up a printing press, and start printing counterfeit money, get involved with a couple of swell-looking towns-girls (even when looked at crooked by Ben), and get highly inebriated.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor on the gap between the characters' lofty criminal ambitions and their sheer ineptitude. It relies on physical comedy and situational gags to depict how a small-time scam spirals into delightful chaos.

What lingers after the final reel is the charm of a simple, mischievous tale where every clumsy decision leads to the next laugh. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Robin Williamson
