oscaralbert Review of Sunnyside

Sunnyside (1919)

Paraphrasing the famous song, "Don't dance over the prickly pear . . . "

[6/10 · 18 August 2020]

" . . . with anyone else but me" sums up the lost opportunities of SUNNYSIDE. Each of the four nymphs making up the "farm handyman's" bridge quartet are far more comely than this live action short's so-called city belle. The latter fickle wench is not cracked up to deserve any dude's Liberty, especially one as efficient in the kitchen as the mislabeled hotel gopher. This film should have included a lot more footage of the nymphs, and fewer sour notes from the belle.
