Not much of a study


Character Studies (1927)

Directed by star Carter DeHaven this short film has cameos from a number of silent era stars. A man uses make up to transform himself into famous faces.

This is a very simple one joke film that does get a little repetitive. The camera trick is something you might expect from a film 10-15 years old but it is nice to see so many of these faces in one place. A little bit more comedy or style could have really been used to carry this film.

2/5
