A Flirt's Mistake

Fatty arbuckle, in 1914, the early, early days of film. It's pretty grainy, badly in need of restoration, but it's fun. Slapstick humor, with arbuckle falling, tripping, in a madcap caper. I just LOVE these old black and white shorts that show locations from days gone by. Here, it was filmed in echo park, los angeles, according to imdb. In this one, he flirts with someone, but it's a case of mistaken identity. A classic from mack sennett, and keystone films, of course. Directed by george nichols. Silly but fun. Probably not at all sensitive to other cultures, but I don't think they worried about that in 1914. Fun to catch these oldies by the hollywood masters.
