Fare Enough (1928) is an interesting piece of silent comedy that showcases a rather quirky narrative. Poodles, our protagonist, finds himself in a series of bizarre situations after losing his job at a car dealership and opting to drive for the Hardly Able Cab Company. The absurdity ramps up when he gets into a tussle with a horse, a strange twist that may remind viewers of the antics from CIRCUS DAZE. The pacing is a mix of slapstick and situational humor, and the practical effects, though simple, contribute to that classic silent era charm. Although the director remains unknown, the film has those little moments that remind you of why silent comedies are so endearing, even if they sometimes meander in their storytelling.
Fare Enough has a certain scarcity, making it a curious find for silent film aficionados. Its format history isn't extensive, showcasing a limited number of prints that have survived the years. Many collectors are drawn to its unique blend of humor and oddball situations, even if the director's identity remains a mystery. The film's charm and its connection to CIRCUS DAZE make it a conversation starter among enthusiasts.
