Seven Days (1925) User Reviews

Might have made a good two-reeler

I wanted to like this Christy Comedy, but it was just plain irritating. The premise: Millionaire Jim Wilson (Creighton Hale) is recently divorced from his wife Bella (Lilyan Tashman). His rich Aunt Selina, who disapproves of divorce, comes to visit, so Jim's friend Kit Éclair agrees to pretend to be his spouse. The house, now full of guests including a burglar and a wacky woman who thinks she is a psychic, is quarantined for smallpox for seven days. Several gags involve various trapped guests trying to escape. The bugler, trying to keep from being discovered, spends an inconceivable amount of time going up and down a dumbwaiter. Screened at Cinefest in Syracuse New York.
