🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor from the clash between a naive protagonist and the chaotic urban landscape, relying heavily on the physical comedy and buffoonery of its star.

What lingers after the final reel is the charming simplicity of silent-era slapstick, a playful artifact from cinema's early days. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Joseph Hepp
