Honeymoon Trio

About This Movie

So, 'Honeymoon Trio' is one of those quirky little one-reelers from 1931 that really captures the offbeat sense of humor of the time. Walter Catlett goes all out in his obnoxious shtick, and it’s amusing how he embeds himself into the honeymoon of Al St. John and Dorothy Granger. The setup itself is pretty wild, with Catlett’s character being this larger-than-life annoyance and Granger’s obliviousness just amplifying the absurdity. The pacing keeps you engaged, and the practical gags hit just right, even if they seem a bit silly by today’s standards. The chemistry between the trio, especially with Catlett's over-the-top antics, definitely gives this film a unique charm that stands out in the educational comedy genre.

Honeymoon Trio is a bit of a rarity in the collector's circle. It was released during the early sound era, and prints can be quite scarce, especially in good condition. Collectors often appreciate its unique blend of comedy and the performances of its leads, particularly Catlett, who really embodies the obnoxious character. It’s not something you see pop up frequently in the market, which adds to its appeal for those who enjoy digging into lesser-known gems from the early 1930s.
