[DVD Details]
 
 
  • One of the funniest and most popular films of the silent era. Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dressler and Mabel Norman star in Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios comedy "Tillie's Punctured Romance" (72 min.), featuring all the frenzied action and burlesque style humor that made Sennett Hollywood's first great comic director, and Chaplin its greatest star. Also included is another of Keystone's best comedies, "Mabel's Married Life" (14 min.), starring Chaplin and Norman.

    The first feature-length comedy film, and one of the unfunniest films ever made.

    The frame is always static but the agitation within keeps getting cranked up into combustion

    Particularly noteworthy as featuring early Chaplin tramp character, but not as funny as later Chaplin work.

    Museum piece slapstick comedy with the Keystone Kops and Charlie Chaplin that spoofs a gold-digger.
