There He Goes

About This Movie

There He Goes is a neat little three-reel short from 1925 that showcases the slapstick charm typical of Mack Sennett productions. The pacing is brisk, filled with quick gags and physical comedy that keep the energy up. It’s got that unique atmosphere of the era, where spontaneous chaos reigns, and performers fully commit to their antics. The practical effects, although simple, add to the fun, creating moments that are quite inventive for its time. You can see the performers enjoying themselves, which translates well to the audience. Each scene feels like a playful experiment, and you can’t help but appreciate the lightheartedness and ingenuity behind the laughter.

As a collector, you'll find There He Goes to be a bit of a rarity since many of Sennett's shorts didn't survive in great condition. It originally circulated in 16mm and 8mm formats, and those versions can be hard to track down today. Interest in silent comedies has seen a resurgence, making this film a curious piece for those exploring early American humor and cinematic techniques.
