So, Name the Day is one of those delightful little one-reelers from 1921 that captures the charm of silent comedy. You've got Snub Pollard and Marie Mosquini heading for the altar, and the whole thing unfolds with that classic Pollard slapstick vibe. Ernie Morrison as the best man adds a nice touch of chaos, which is a hallmark of these kinds of films. The pacing is brisk, and the gags come flying at you, making it a joyful watch. It’s interesting to see how the theme of marriage is played out with such a mix of humor and absurdity; it really showcases the era's take on relationships. The practical effects, though limited, have a certain charm that just makes you smile.
Name the Day is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, especially with its silent film status. Several formats have been released over the years, but finding a quality print can be a challenge. The appeal lies in its charm and the distinct comedic style of Pollard, making it an interesting piece for those fascinated by early cinema and its evolving humor.
