So, 'An Auto Nut' is this quirky little comedy from 1919 directed by Robert P. Kerr. The plot revolves around a crooked lawyer who, in a rather comical twist, ends up selling his own car. The pacing has that delightful silent film rhythm—quick gags and exaggerated expressions that keep you chuckling. The performances are a mix of slapstick and clever dialogue, typical of the era but with its own unique flair. Plus, you can’t help but appreciate the practical effects in the car scenes, which add a certain charm. It's not just about the laughs; there’s an underlying commentary on greed and deception that feels surprisingly relevant, even today. It’s definitely a curious piece.
