Mitt the Prince

The film begins with Snub and Fat (yes, that IS the politically incorrect and cruel name given to Snub's partner in this and several other films made for the Weiss Brothers) want to make a few bucks. The film begins with them doing some maintenance sort of work--with Fat on a ladder and Snub sweeping outside. When this doesn't work out, a random stranger just happens to walk up to them and offer them HIS MOTHER'S CAR and asks them to make a delivery. This skit, though funny, made no sense at all...nor did the final sequence where Snub was asked to dress up like some Prince. 0 My summary alludes to the fact that this silent comedy seriously looks like they grabbed some plot ideas out of a hat and randomly strung them together. In many ways, it looked like a bunch of skits combined--regardless to whether or not it's all really funny or not. It's a shame, as there are quite a few Snub Pollard comedies that I like...this one, I did not. It just had poor writing, direction and execution...that's all.

Bottom line...it's not funny.
