Pop-eyed Eddie Cantor made his film debut in this silent adaptation of the successful stage musical in which he had starred for 489 performances, as a vital witness in a fixed divorce case, caught between the flapper charms of soon to be famous ‘It’ girl Clara Bow and Billie Dove.

Full of energetically paced physical comedy and clever sight gags - the finale is as wild as they come! - this light, funny and romantic situation comedy provides an excellent showcase of Cantor’s hilarious pantomimic talents.

Introduced by Oscar®-winning director and film historian Kevin Brownlow. With live piano accompaniment by Daan Van den Hurk.
