And the Parrot Said...? is this quirky little comedy from 1915 that has a charm all its own, even without knowing the director. The pacing is pretty typical of the era, with gags that rely heavily on physical humor and the antics of a loud parrot. The atmosphere is light and silly, capturing the essence of silent comedies, but there's something distinctive in the way it plays with animal characters. The performances, often over-the-top, are engaging enough to keep you smiling, and the practical effects, though simple, serve the gags well. It’s a fleeting glimpse into early 20th-century humor, and while it might not have the recognition of later classics, there's an endearing quality that makes it a curious watch for collectors who appreciate the roots of the genre.
This film is a bit of a rarity in the collector community, often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the silent era. Its scarcity is partly due to the unknown director and limited release, making it a hidden gem for those who dig deeper into early comedies. Formats can be hard to come by, especially in decent condition, so it's worth keeping an eye out for any archival prints or restorations that pop up.
