tavm Review of Fatty's Faithful Fido

Fatty's Faithful Fido (1915)

Fatty's Faithful Fido is an excellent Fatty Arbuckle comedy

[10/10 · 30 July 2007]

This is an excellent Fatty Arbuckle comedy with Al St. John, his wife at the time Minta Durfee playing the girl both want, and Luke the Dog playing the title role. Lots of funny stuff involving bricks, rooftops, a dummy, a cat, a cross to mark a target, a Chinese laundry, its owner and bath inside, and a massive fistfight. Marvel at all the falls Mr. Arbuckle takes here! See Mr. St. John constantly try to either get away from Fido or have Fatty get knocked out or choked! Watch Ms. Durfee occasionally defend herself against Al! And see Fido get distracted by a cat after chasing St. John up a roof! This is one of the best Mack Sennett/Keystone comedies I've seen so far. Most highly recommended for silent movie fans especially those of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle!
