Faithful (1910)
*** (out of 4)
Pleasant comedy from D.W. Griffith about a rich man who accidentally hits a tramp named Faithful (Mack Sennett) with his car. Feeling bad, the man buys the tramp a new outfit but then can't get rid of his as the tramp follows his every move hoping for more gifts. Most of Griffith's comedies have been misses but this one here hits all the right notes. I've never seen Sennett be better as he does a great job playing his character lovable. There are a few nice laughs but the sappy ending doesn't help much.
