The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary

1916 · 38 min Comedy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

The first time that Jack was threatened with expulsion from college his Aunt Mary was much surprised and decidedly vexed -- mainly at the college. His family were less surprised, viewing the young man through a clearer atmosphere than his Aunt Mary ever had, and knowing that he had barely escaped similar experiences earlier in his career by invariably leaving school the day before the board of inquiry convened.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the contrast between the aunt's doting blindness and the family's weary familiarity with the nephew's schemes. It relies on silent era pantomime and expressive performances to sell the familiar academic farce.

What lingers after the reel is a charming, slight period piece that captures a very particular kind of familial exasperation. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Edward Dillon
