Feel My Pulse

About This Movie

Feel My Pulse (1928) is this quirky blend of comedy and crime, where a rich heiress, with her constant health concerns, finds herself unexpectedly running a sanitarium. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic, with the tension of bootlegging looming in the background. You get these moments of absurdity, thanks to the comedic pacing. The performances have that delightful over-the-top charm, fitting for the era. It's interesting how the film juggles the themes of wealth and deception, and the practical effects, while limited, add a certain charm. There’s something refreshing about its unapologetic silliness, which sets it apart from other silent comedies of the time.

Feel My Pulse has had a rather limited presence in the collector's market, primarily due to its age and the obscurity of its director. It's not one you see often, and that naturally adds to its appeal among collectors, especially those drawn to the silent era. Various formats exist, but early prints are scarce, making it a fascinating piece for anyone interested in the nuances of 1920s cinema.
