Oh, Come Now! She Wasn't That Ugly(SPOILERS)
18 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS

Now, I enjoy a good silent film every now and then, but I do not need to actually enjoy watching them. I did not enjoy watching this one. This is probably the worst silent film that I have ever seen. It is not funny, and it is actually very cruel. The poor maid. She was not even that ugly. At least I did not think so, I did not see her face.

Here is the basis of this silent short. An old maid is going to have here picture taken. The only problem is that whenever she looks at something it falls over or sometimes it even breaks. A hanger breaks. A clock falls off the wall and shatters. A mirror cracks. When she is finally going to have her picture taken the camera breaks and dust and smoke goes everywhere, knocking the maid of her chair.

Overall, this is a very cruel and cheesy Edison movie. I really do not recommend watching this silent short, even though it is only one minute long. You will not enjoy watching this. You could spend this time watching a silent short like Train Pulling Into Station, or Roadhay Garden Scene, or maybe even Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge. Watch a good short, and not this.

5/10

Recommended Shorts: Roadhay Garden Scene.
