When Comedy Was King

When Comedy Was King (1960) starring Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand, Wallace Beery and Gloria Swanson, the Keystone Kops. Silent comedy classics from 1914 onward through the twenties are featured in this brief (81 minutes) compilation film. There are plenty of laughs to be had here if your sense of humor is still intact. If you love the old silent comedy classics, this movie is a must-see. (Subtitles of any kind are not available, but after all these are silent films.) Grade: B
