Franklin Pangborn swears off women!
23 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This comedy short has pre-code written all over it with some gags truly knee slapping and some comic special effects (including an animation sequence involving a drunken cat) that really goes out of its way to push every button it can. Finding out that his girl (Dorothy Grainger) has been seeing every other soldier in port, Franklin Pangborn heads off with his buddy to the Lighthouse, ends up in drag (romanced by Mack Swain) and in hot water with his commanding sergeant, Tom Kennedy. Silent cockeyed comic Ben Turpin pops up in a funny cameo. I'm not going to spoil any fun by the dealing any of the sight gags, but a few of them are truly unforgettable.
