THE BRIDE'S MISTAKE (1931) Marjorie Beebe, Vernon Dent

Postby Ed Watz » Mon May 29, 2023 12:14 pm

A fun Mack Sennett remake of Harry Langdon's HIS MARRIAGE WOW (1925), with Marjorie Beebe subbing for Harry and Vernon Dent repeating his memorable role as the lunatic Doctor of Pessimism. Both comedians are at the top of their game, with Marjorie borrowing a couple of Langdon trademarks plus a brief nod to the baby carriage business from HIS FIRST FLAME and TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP. Some good motorcycle stunt work and it's clearly Marjorie taking some nasty falls and tumbles, to me she's one of the unsung Slapstick Queens.
