Mildly funny at best.

"The Pride of Pikeville" has only a few laughs and aside from seeing Ben Turpin's crossed eyes or him dressed up like Erich Von Stroheim, I can't see a lot of reason to watch this one.

The film begins on a train. An international ladies man (Turpin) is traveling in the US when he comes to the attention of a rather unattractive lady and her gun-toting father (Andy Clyde). Not surprisingly, the dad tries to force Ben to marry her and Ben tries everything he can do to get away from them. All this could have been quite funny but there just weren't that many gags. While Turpin could make a good film, this one is only watchable and nothing more.
