    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This is the only "speaking" role of Harpo Marx in his entire cinema career. Alas, being this a silent movie, his line ("You sure you can't move?") appeared written on the screen.
    • Goofs
      Although the title cards identify Potigny as being located in the Basque country near the French-Spanish border, Potigny is actually located in Normandy, in the north of France.
    • Quotes

      Title Card: Every man -- no matter how great -- has his weakness.

    • Alternate versions
      2020 Restoration: "Too Many Kisses was produced by Famous Players--Lasky Corp. and released in six reels on March 2, 1925. The film was considered lost until author and historian Robert S. Birchard discovered a 16mm reduction print of the 35mm camera negative in the collection of Irvin V. Willat in 1971. The American Film Institute created a new negative upon which this restoration was based. The negative was donated to the Library of Congress as part of the AFI/Irwin V. Willat Collection. Film Preservation Society completed this restoration in June 2020."

    ****** Fair Comedy
    Richard Dix plays a wastrel bon-vivant who is heir to his father's business if he can reform his ways and prove himself worthy. He must keep away from the ladies, for which he has a proclivity. He is sent to The Basque region of the Pyrenees to close a deal for some valuable minerals. Naturally, he encounters a lovely senorita (Frances Howard) who is betrothed to a volatile local tough (William Powell). Funny situations occur, which include Harpo Marx (!), Dix and Powell.

    It could have been a better film with a different lead than Dix, who does not seem cut out for comedy. He was, first and foremost, an action hero, and the bulk of the storyline hinges on William Powell, who carries most of the film. It has value mainly as a Hollywood antique to see some stars before they became famous, as the theme has been done many times and often better than "Too Many Kisses".

    6/10 - The website no longer prints my star ratings.
