Picked this up on a Kickstarter. The usual story of a woman who suspects her husband of being unfaithful, and his philandering friend who tries to steal her heart (despite having a number of other girlfriends). As is standard, everything works out in the end and the happy couple retire (to their narrow single beds!).
The ladies all look beautiful in their sparkly outfits, apart from wearing dead animals round their necks, the sets are lavish (despite making the ceilings appear around 60ft high), and everyone acts slightly over the top, as you would expect for a silent comedy. The only problem with a silent comedy of this type is when they rely on written jokes, which don't really work to more modern audiences used to snappy verbal repartee. Still, there are some good lines and the visual comedy more than makes up for it.
