great movie :D left me happy

Absolutely incredible how accurate this is

Yeah - this is SO good

Music sucks

Your soundtrack is wonderful. and helps the film. Thank You.

🌷 Thank you

That little fly is so cute.

Given that it was first released in 1928, this movie is officially public domain in 2024. Given how much stop-motion has advanced almost 100 years after this came out, imagine how smooth this bug would look with somebody like Henry Selick animating him.

Thanks for posting one of the many hilarious films comedian-writer-director Charley Chase, born on this day in 1893, made with Leo McCarey in the mid-1920's. While Chaplin's the most graceful performer, Keaton is the filmmaking genius and Harold Lloyd remains an unmatched master of story construction, nobody makes me laugh louder and harder than Charley.

This is brilliant

Thanks for this amazing Silent work with accompanying score soundtrack.

Charles Bowers is up there With Harry Langdon, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel Hardy, Stan Hardy, Marx brothers, Ralph Balski George Formby and Norman Wisdom among others. This guy is actually more unique because he also directed stop motion animation like the legendary Jan Svankmajer. These was the guys we turned too before the rise of the conspiracy theorists like David Icke. Don Chaffey and Ray Harryhausen use too be my two favourite people before i learned of Charles Bowers. Truly Terrific Work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

⌨️ Thank you

I would say the Fuzz-Faced Phantom seems to have inspired "Doctor Robotnik", the baddie from the videogame Sonic the Hedgehog. Great short, full of inventive and outlandish humour, and some good stop-motion thrown in, too. The music is excellent.

Badge with a telephone dial, lmao! He must know Suzie like I know Suzie. On Sunday she praises the Lord but on Monday she's as busy as a telephone switchboard. Pythons must've watched this. Seeing elements of Terry Gilliam, and character 'Ewin McTeagle'.

Charlie was a good pal of my great uncle lige conley I have a book he signed to him 1931 I 💘 these old movies

This is incredible; thanks for sharing it! Your score really does this quirky gem justice.

Loved that insect puppet! The stop motion was excellent!

🗯️ Thank you

Very funny and effects cleverly done

"Scotland Yard." This flick is a total trip. "Hoot mon." Is there anyone under the age of 60 who would even pick up on this play on words? Realize what it alludes to?

Charlie from the chocolate factory gets it. . Magnificent !

I liked the colored butler. His eyes would get really big when he was scared.

A fine bit’ o nonsense, that! And a grand score too!

Thank you thank you for uploading this masterpiece of film! And for the enchanting score! And by GOlly GEe Whitakers whiskers! Thank you YT algorhyrhms for bringing me here. Whatever and however I have been feeding the YT algorhyms, I promise i will keep it up! Here is to the of love discovering new brilliantly ingenious human creative endeavors!

Very modern feel to something almost 100 yrs old. Good work!

This is wonderful, can’t believe the composer of the score didn’t glom onto any Scottish reels , or any Scottish theme for that matter.

Great little film, thanks. Though it's larger than a real one, I think his wee assistant is probably a midgie.

better than "Paranormal Activities"...

I asked my Scottish mother Who's maiden name was Mac Donald How can you tell when a bagpipe is out of tune? She asked, how? I said, you can't. She didn't think it was funny. But this, this was hilarious. Thanks for sharing Auld Lang syne 12/26/22

That was so cute - the special effects and comedy were great ---Cheers

What an amazing find. Even as a classic film and comedy buff I didn't know of Charley Bowers before. And your score is wonderful. Thank you for this.

That taxi fare might seem excessive but it’s a long way to NYC from LA

Going in the wrong direction you should push that chicken on that thing the other way you said you're going east I believe if you're in England you need to go west

The Yard with Scottish people= Scotland Yard 🧐🧐

Here I was feeling sorry for myself because the recent storm canceled my Christmas plans. Now I'm laughing and in utter amazement at this little treasure. Your score enhanced every scene to perfection. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My day will be spent sharing this with friends and family.....right after I subscribe.

When the cat said coo-coo. Yeah!

As good as anything James Cameron has done.

Good find !

Thanks for sharing this silent gem. Learned so much about these amazing character actors and early special effects.

hilarious cartoonish film from the 20's thanks for uploading.

What was the thing in the matchbook?

Spectacular score!

This is clearly the progenitor of marx bros & monty python & ernie kovacs & cantinflas etc- anarcocomedy

Love it thanx

That was just not funny ! Lol. Great music, ThankYou.

I wondered what all them periods were for.

The Aardman Studios of the roaring 20s!

Just delightful!! Thank you, KZfaq algorithm, for tossing this gem my way!

This film was made before my mother was born. I watched the whole film. Thank you for preserving history.
