Don't Monkey with the Buzz Saw

1914 · 12 min

A featherweight silent farce that breezes by on slapstick marital mischief and a cheeky hypnotism gag.

How it feels: Light, absurd and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Deception, family, gender
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
