Under a Spell

1925 · 12 min

A frantic, silly silent-era romp of slapstick climbing and throwing, easy to dip into and chuckle at.

Directed by
Richard Smith
Overview
When Neely is hypnotized to think he's a monkey, he goes on a freewheeling chase where he climbs things he wouldn't ordinarily and throws lots of things.
How it feels
Absurd, whimsical and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About
Madness, identity
Content
Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
