This is one of the early silent films with the best picture quality and the smoothest images I have seen so far. It is a very interesting story. The scene scheduling in the early days of Hollywood has reached a certain level, and many subsequent films have inherited certain aspects of this film. some elements.

It's so wonderful that I can't believe it was a movie from almost 100 years ago. I wonder what the movie will be like in 100 years. So cute, I want to hug and hold high...

Great comedy of the era...a shot of a train falling into a river cost $42,000, which was astronomical at the...
