Joke on rails


The Iron Mule (1925)

Directed by Roscoe Arbuckle and Grover Jones this film stars Al St. John. We see one of the early train journeys go wrong.

As comedies go this is nothing special but does raise the odd chuckle here and there. There are plenty of familiar elements and it is not riotously funny but will entertain at least. Not too badly made but maybe not up there with the masters of silent comedy.

3/5
