🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A masterclass in silent-era slapstick, this short thrives on the hilarious dissonance between Felix's inspired mimicry and the physical world's blunt refusal to cooperate. His journey from peeping tom to self-styled martial artist is a chain reaction of perfectly timed mishaps.

What lingers after the final head-butt is the charm of an era where a lamp post and a disgruntled goat were all you needed for a global culture clash. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Otto Messmer
