Fatty's Suitless Days1914

Fatty Arbuckle needs a suit to attend the ball. He snatches another man’s finery off the clothesline, squeezing himself into the jacket and improvising a cummerbund. What goes around comes around which, in Fatty’s case, means he’ll find himself at the ball without pants. Dreamlike humiliation quickly escalates into complete bedlam, the signature style of Keystone comedies. The picture quality is quite insufferable but Arbuckle's performance makes this a short film worth presenting despite the well-worn print.
