20251217: (incomplete viewing)
This film, as compared to the three previous films I saw, was really starting to advance with respect to story and humor. The slapstick was more integral to the story, and reminded me of various cartoons I saw growing up.
Rating: 3.4/5
20251217: (full viewing)
The version I watched was about 11 minutes long, so I went to search for a full clip that was the full 27 minute running time. The top such clip was a color version so I decided to watch it instead of the original black and white version.
Instant Comments:
2: I'm not sure if this crossed my mind the first time I watched but why is whoever in charge of the crane listening to Tramp's instructions?
2: The first version of this film did not have this kitchen/dish washing scene [in fact I think it went from about the 13m41s mark to the 21m37s mark]
2: in this scene outside, the horizon in the background can be scene rocking, which indicates the camera was rocking instead
2: but in the scene inside, there's an item hanging from the ceiling which is swinging, which suggests in that case the set is tilting instead (as well as the plates)
2: smile. he uses oil from the lamp for salad dressing
2: this version says "New restoration and special contents of this edition (C) Film Preservation Associates, Inc. 2014"
