Review of Sons of the Desert (1933) by Grifty G — 04 Sep 2008
Always nice to see strict wives who aren't just two-dimensional harridans but who have legitimate reasons for their shrewishness. A number of the gags in this morality play have been rehashed over the past 75 years, but for the most part it all still felt fresh, largely due to Seiter's sharp direction - the slapstick was faster paced and better timed than in a number of the L&H shorts with different directors that I've seen over the last few days. A good way to close out the festival.
(and thank you, Flixter, for eating this review and making me retype it from memory).
