🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on the sharp contrast between masculine aggression and sudden infatuation, relying on the exaggerated gestures of silent cinema to sell the emotional whiplash.
What lingers after the final frame is the charming simplicity of an era where a cartoon could start a war—or a romance. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: D.W. Griffith
