Battling brothers

 Glenroy Brothers (Comic Boxing) (1894)


Directed by William K. L. Dickson and William Heise this short film stars the Glenroy brothers. Two men try and box with supposedly comedic effect.


Silent film generally does slapstick rather well but this effort is rudimentary at best. Not even a minute long there is not much time for jokes here. I hope the brother's full act was better than this because this snippet leaves a lot to be desired.


2/5
