Mabel's Married Life (1914)
Country: US
Technical: bw 17m
Director: Mack Sennett
Cast: Mabel Normand, Charlie Chaplin, Mack Swain
Synopsis:
Charlie and Mabel are visiting the park when she receives unwelcome attention from another woman's husband; Charlie retreats to the nearby bar. Mabel therefore purchases a sparring dummy to sharpen his pugilistic skills, but the dummy is more than a match for both of them.
Review:
Like many Keystone productions filmed at Echo Park, this unusually features a married Charlie. The story is not always easy to follow, particularly with regard to offscreen space, and the bar action is prolonged so that Charlie can do his drunk routine, whereupon his sailor tormentors seem too easily cowed by someone in want of courage.
