Below par


Golf Antics (1920)

Nominally directed by Buster Keaton this compilation film also features Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy and Fatty Arbuckle. A number of the stars of silent comedy have trouble playing golf.

A draw for all the big name talent of the era involved this film ultimately ends up being a disappointment. There are a few decent gags here and there but the compilation nature of the film means there is no narrative or heart to the film. You will chuckle a few times but unfortunately this is not a piece of gold.

2/5
