Dogs in silent comedies. That’s the tweet.

Charming, eventually. His voice is a flawless match, no notes.

Mute Witness 1995

Screening hosted by The Suspense is Killing Us: pretty much the only podcast I listen to. Can’t thank them enough for always being a massive comfort on long drives, and for making tonight such a gift. The film’s a red-hot jewel. Tremendous to witness a nice print on a medium-to-large screen, with hefty sound to boot. Seek it out.
Safety Last! 1923

Predates my grandfather by close to twenty years… and not the least bit outmoded. Crazy. Kinda convinced it’s perfect, even. Granted, I’m a sucker for clever slapstick with a sentimental center. What the hell, five stars! And a quick tip: if you’d like to watch this with the original intertitles, which are very cute and actually add a lot, don’t go for Kanopy. Odd version over there.
