- Summary:
- Sennett in the twenties: Harry Langdon, Ben Turpin and Billy Bevan were Sennett's major comedy stars when he was producing for Pathe in the 1920's. Presented here are six films that highlight Sennett's 20's formula of "speed, girls and spectacular effects," where every foil and gag sets another in motion until every prop in sight has been squeezed of comic potential.
- Funny girls: Celebrates the first ladies of early screen comedy with five sensational shorts which dispel the myth that comedy was primarily a man's domain. See these dauntless damsels fling themselves into the making of mirth with spirited abandon.
