The cleverly scripted "Manhattan Madness" (1916) doubtless went down a whole lot better with audiences at the time of its release. We more sophisticated movie watchers will quickly notice that Doug is NOT doing his own stunts. Mind you, he had a real good excuse. He was in hospital after an accident on the set in which he collided with an extra who discharged a pistol in his face. A blank, of course, but it had enough powder in it to burn Doug's skin! It put him in hospital for three weeks. The movie was also doubtless planned to clock in at twice the length of its present 32 minutes. Nonetheless, it's certainly entertaining and even witty (at least at the beginning), although few present-day fans will be taken in by the obvious artifice of its main plot. However, any film with Jewel Carmen is a good movie, and here she's at her glorious best!
