Robert Youngson compilation of excerpts from silent movies. The 'thrills' feature some bizarre Hollywood action films, daredevil stunts, villainous villains, terrifying cliffhangers, hurtling trains, impassive heroes and knowing, smiling, up-for-it heroines. The 'laughter' is by far the most pleasurable section, recovering sadly obscure comics such as Snub Pollard, and paying testament to their bounteous invention, thoughtfulness and sheer good humour. The presentation of the film grates, especially with a narrator far too pleased with himself.
