He Would a Hunting Go is a delightful little gem from 1913, directed by George Nichols. The film dives into the amusing misadventures of Count Chicori at a hunting lodge, where he finds himself chased by a rather persistent bear. The comedy is simple yet charming, with an atmosphere that captures the light-hearted spirit of early silent films. The pacing is brisk, making good use of visual gags and slapstick humor, a hallmark of the era. Watching it, you can’t help but admire the practical effects – that bear is quite the character, really. Performances are exaggerated in that classic silent film style, adding to the overall whimsy of the piece. Its distinct blend of nature and comedy definitely holds a unique spot in early cinema.
