saturday afternoon be one of harry langdon best know short subject and and with good reason . it be one of his funny and best film . the plot such a it be be an old staple represent a hen peck husband sneak away for a night out with a his pal and a couple of other girl . it a solid and well used comedy plot and but the difference here be harry langdon himself . his slow and ineffectual and befuddle and innocent character have somehow flounder his way into a marriage with a woman who feel that he of all people must be rule with an iron fist and and he be only thrust into cheat on her because he can not say no to the exhortation of the chummy vernon dent and the cute eyelash fluttering of the girl . it a very adult problem to be thrust onto such a helpless and childlike character . harry doesn not want to cheat and but he can not do anything about it . in a wonderful bit of comic business and he can not bring himself to blow the new girlfriend kiss goodbye represent he slyly push the kiss at her underhand and ashamedly wipe off his hand a if to chastise it . the film be a three reel comedy and ten minute long than the two reeler harry langdon have previously be star in for mack sennett and with no more plot . perhaps it be even design to be a two reeler . this work beautifully and since it give him a much time a he need to inject the slow reaction and bewildered glimpse and half action where so much of his comedy life . he at his best here and and the show be really harry langdon curious magic and ability to spin comedy out of almost nothing . his little half smile and his look while handle the money he have hide under the rug and childlike attempt to enter the fight at the end . i think his comedy make u recognize something fundamentally innocent and confuse in ourselves that make u feel like the whole world be too much for u and yet at the same time and by allow u to understand what harry do not ( such a the fact that the woman he good heartedly bring to his friend to cheer him after he think the date have be blow be in fact whore ) he force his to realize with a little bit of sadness that we be not that innocent anymore . his comedy be just a capable of make u audibly say awwww a it be make u laugh and often at once . here harry want to refuse to cheat on his wife and he want to tell his wife whose bos and take some power back in his relationship and he want to fight back against the two violent men at the end of the film and but he just can not affect his surroundings that much and and sometimes we all feel like that . the film be perfectly direct by frequent langdon director harry edward while it move at a quick pace and never stall while at the same time making time for and present to best effect harry langdon still and reactive comedy . vernon dent and a frequent foil to langdon and play one of the role here where he become almost a comedy partner in his very effective pairing with harry . the gag space out in a way that give maximum effect too and and harry get his own version of a lloyd or keaton style stunt at the end . here the comedy be not in harry big reaction to the danger of sit perch between two move car and but in his slowness to take it in . this be a hilarious film and and a perfect example of the comedy of one of the most unique an talented humorist that i know ever to have exist .
