Isn't Life Terrible
Blissfully naive in its beauty. The part with the Black child is still funny , call me un politically correct because I am. Great way to spend a half hour....
Bromo and Juliet
Lots of high society, Prohibition -era slapstick partially shot on the streets of Culver City. Bonus: Oliver Hardy as the chauffeur.
Crazy Like a Fox
The film would be good if only the governor would fall into the water one more time.
