6/10
Amusing little short

Warning: Spoilers
" A Flirt's Mistake" was an 8 minute one joke film that has enough laughs in it to make it worth catching. Especially for "Fatty" Arbuckle fans.

A simple, though unbelievable case of mistaken identity drive this movie thru it's paces.

The cast is very good (obviously the Keystone Cops share in the shenanigans) camera-work is basic, and the house and police stations look like the same ones that were used in90% of Arbuckle's comedies.

Arbuckle made countless of these short, short films. Try taping a few of them, and watch them all night long. They offer good insight to one of the most popular and tragic figures of the early 20th century.
