Now I'll Tell One

1927 · 20 min Comedy
5.8 / 10 · TMDB

This film was presumed lost for a long time, until the second reel of this movie showed up again in the '90s. So half of the movie can be seen. It's a fast paced slapstick comedy with also a good comical story about a man (Charley Chase) who is being prosecuted for shooting his wife (Edna Marion).

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor on the stark contrast between a formal courtroom setting and the sheer chaos introduced by its protagonist. It relies entirely on Charley Chase's impeccable timing and expressive physicality, turning every misunderstanding into a visual punchline.

Those who tire of overly complicated plots will find joy in this pure, fast-paced slapstick. What lingers after the reel ends is a genuine appreciation for this rediscovered fragment of comedic history. — MovieFinder Editorial
