When I saw this short on YouTube, I was left wondering WHO added the tons of sound effects and music to this short? After all, it's listed as a silent on IMDB but at some point SOMEONE thought it was a good idea to add 'funny' sound effects....and these effects are used CONSTANTLY and ruin the short to some degree. Now I cannot blame the filmmakers....as someone ham-handedly added them and it would be better to either find another copy or just turn your sound off!
The story is insane. A woman loses her clothes and ends up hiding out in the back of Charley's car. Now this is even more of a problem because he is supposed to be going to his own wedding! And, to make it worse, Charley stops to put up a guy in need of a lift...and it turns out to be the naked woman's husband!! What's next? See the show.
This is a very funny short...among Charley Chase's best. My only gripe is the sound. Could it have been added back in 1928 or a bit later to help it compete with sound pictures? Or, did some 'clever' person add them much later? All I know is that with them, the short is significantly worse.
