About This Movie

Hot Water, directed by Fred C. Newmeyer, is a silent comedy that dives into the quirks of marital life and in-law dynamics. It's got that classic Lloyd charm, filled with physical humor and unexpected situations. The pacing? Quite snappy, jumping from one ludicrous scenario to another, like that trolley ride with a live turkey. The slapstick elements really shine, especially in the wild car ride with the in-laws that just escalates hilariously. And who can forget that darkly comedic moment when Hubby accidentally chloroforms his mother-in-law? It's not just about the laughs; it captures a specific era's view on family and marriage that feels both dated and relevant in its chaos. Definitely a unique piece in the Lloyd collection.

Great example of 1920s silent film humor.Features classic physical comedy from Lloyd.Interesting take on family dynamics and marital issues.
