Really Bad
Poker at Eight (1935)
* (out of 4)
Incredibly bad short has Charley Chase playing a wimp husband who gets pushed around by his oh-so-perfect wife. He wants to go out and play poker with the boys but she won't let him so Chase tries to hypnotize her. Once again, there's not a single laugh to be found in this MGM short. The entire film is incredibly dull and even at 18-minutes the thing seems to be way too long. I've enjoyed most of Chase's silent films and a couple of his sound shorts but this one here is by far the worst I've seen.
