Mabel's Busy Day (1914)
Country: US
Technical: bw 10m
Director: Mack Sennett
Cast: Mabel Normand, Charlie Chaplin
Synopsis:
Mabel bribes a cop to gain access to the racetrack with her hotdog tray, but is beset with issues over payment and mobbed by freeloaders. A rakish troublemaker offers sympathy but is more hindrance than help.
Review:
Unsatisfactory Keystone short, with unmotivated kicks to the pants coming across as almost psychopathic aggression. As in Kid Auto Races there is a number of genuinely bemused onlookers, but the cutaways of speeding automobiles spreading dust are clearly from another location.
