Featured review
Self Mockery
Once some films became well known, they were imitated - which was not intended as flattery so much as an attempt to get in on a good thing - and mocked. Many of Mack Sennett's Keystone comedies were burlesques of serious films directed by his former boss, D.W. Griffith.
This is a spoof of an early British epic film, THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO. Fred Evans did not have the resources that the makers of that 90-minute film did, so he made a virtue of that. Many of the gags involve the cheapness of the movie: Evans rides a pantomime horse, locations are indicated by signs, and one of the scenes is broken up by demonstrating suffragettes.
As a side note, the original film was long considered lost. 22 minutes were discovered in 2002. Keep looking for the rest of it!
