The Million Dollar Derby

1926 · 20 min

A featherweight silent comedy short that breezes by on one silly premise and a lot of hat-based mugging.

Starring
Al Alt
Overview
Al Alt will get a million dollars if he wears a particular hat for six months. It's a sort of a too-small, soft-felt derby with a very large panache.
How it feels
Light, absurd and whimsical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About
Greed, identity
Content
No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
