Nearly Spliced is one of those quirky little comedies from the silent era that really captures the frantic energy of wedding jitters. Leon Errol is quite the character, a bridegroom lost in the chaos of his own impending nuptials. The film has this delightful pace, with each misadventure leading him ever closer to the church, but not without a series of humorous mishaps. The practical effects, though simple by today’s standards, have a charm that adds to the overall absurdity of his journey. It’s the kind of flick that leaves you chuckling, and Errol’s performance is just endearing enough to make you root for him. It's certainly a piece of cinematic history that highlights the lighter side of the silent film era.
Nearly Spliced is a bit of a rarity for collectors, as many silent films from this period have been lost or are hard to find in good condition. This film didn’t have a wide release, and surviving prints are often in less than pristine shape. It does generate interest among silent film enthusiasts, especially those keen on exploring the comedic styles of the early 1920s. If you can find a decent copy, it's worth adding to your collection to appreciate the humor and charm of its era.
