When I see a Charley Chase film I always wonder why on earth this great comedian is forgotten today. His natural sense of timing was perfect; and he never needed to make a big fuss around a funny situation - it just came naturally. Maybe that's the reason that most people can't understand his films nowadays- they are too subtle for a today audience which is used to a noisy, clumsy comedy stile.
"Movie Night" is one of the best silent shorts I know. I don't know many other films Mr Chase appeared in - but ALL of those those few I know are among the best comedies ever made.
It is time to rediscover this gentle and subtle comedian!
