Review of Day Dreams

Day Dreams (1922)
5/10
Twilight Zone Gag
21 November 2011
There are some great bits mixed in here with some tired old ones. Mostly, this short seems to lay the groundwork for some of his later work. You can see the beginnings of bits for everything from Steamboat Bill Jr. to College to the Twilight Zone.

Some of his most famous bits are in this short, including the walk on the steamboat wheel (I can't tell which is funnier...watching it forwards or backwards.)

Notably, if you are a fan of his work on the Twilight Zone, you'll notice he does the stolen pants bit in this short. Minor variations of it are seen in the Twilight Zone, but it's the same premise. I can only assume that the missing bits are some of his finest, and were cut to use elsewhere.
