No Publicity

About This Movie

So, here’s a little gem from 1927, 'No Publicity.' The whole escapade revolves around this cameraman, Eddie, trying to snap a photo of a socialite at a rather snooty private lecture. The guardian's not having it, of course, and Eddie's antics to sneak in are a mix of cleverness and chaos. The pacing feels brisk, the comedy flows naturally, and there's a certain charm in how Eddie’s resourcefulness unfolds, all while lightly touching on themes of morality and social status. The practical effects, or rather the antics he pulls off, give it a distinctive flair that piques interest. Performances are solid for the era, adding to that delightful comedy atmosphere which is both engaging and amusing.

This film has a certain scarcity about it that collectors might appreciate. There aren't many known prints surviving, which adds a layer of intrigue for those hunting down rare silent comedies. 'No Publicity' isn’t just part of the standard collections; it offers a glimpse into the world of 1920s comedy that’s often overlooked. The film’s unique premise and the charm of its era make it a point of interest for serious collectors.
