I can’t say I particularly enjoyed this one. Comedies of manners aren’t exactly my thing, especially when they’re comedies of manners 100 years and 10000 miles away from any I really understand (what even is taffy?). But Buster has a consistently excellent series of exasperated expressions, there’s a pretty great dinner scene, and the restored ending is marvellous, with a perfectly staged escape from five floors up via numerous window awnings all the way to the ground, so it’s not an entirely wasted watch by any means.<\/p>\n

Notes
\n
\n1.<\/strong> I watched this on blu-ray, and got the screenshots from this youtube version<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> None of the youtube versions seem to have the restored ending, so I couldn’t get a shot of my favourite scene. <\/em><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> But it was pretty good I promise.<\/em><\/p>\n
