Those Awful Hats (1909)
Directed by D. W.
Griffith this is an early short film. Women wearing large hats to the
cinema cause problems for the other people there.
This film is built
around a very simple joke and the punchline is fine but not exactly
earth shattering. Having an inserted film running on the “screen”
on the set is slightly distracting until you realise what part you
are supposed to be watching but I suppose it is a decent early
special effect. In general this is a well made short but if it wasn't
for the name of the director it would probably not be very
remarkable.
3/5
