So, 'Pardon Me' from 1922—it's a curious little comedy that really plays with the absurd. The pacing is brisk, filled with those delightful, silly moments that define early silent comedies. The central figure, Snub, works hard to be arrested, which leads to a series of humorous escapades that are both chaotic and charming. It’s interesting how it captures that playful spirit of the time, yet it feels distinct with its offbeat humor and practical gags. The performances are engaging, as Snub's expressions and physical comedy shine through the lack of dialogue, giving it a unique texture that’s fun to watch.
Pardon Me has been a bit elusive in the collector's market. The film's status is somewhat niche, making it a rare find especially in good condition. Various formats have circulated over the years, yet original prints are scarce. Collectors often appreciate its quirks and historical context, which adds to its charm, even if it’s not always the centerpiece of a collection.
