Stand-up star Lucy Porter introduces two films linked by their takes on marriage, Le Torchon Brûle and Oh! What A Nurse!.

The short, Le Torchon Brûle is by far the oldest and shortest in this year’s Slapstick programme, starring Sarah Duhamel as one half of a couple engaged in all-out war.

The main feature is Oh! What A Nurse!, in which Charlie Chaplin’s brother Syd seeks to prevent a young heiress (Patsy Ruth Miller) from marrying her uncle’s dubious choice of suitor, with madcap results! The film includes a bit part for future double Oscar® winner Janet Gaynor.
