Au Secours! (1924)
Directed by Abel Gance
this film stars Max Linder, Gaston Modot, Jean Toulout and Gina
Palerme. Fresh from getting married Max heads out to meet up with his
buddies at a club who bet him he cannot spend an hour in a haunted
castle.
Taking a simple
premise this film messes around with some fun stuff to create a
pretty charming comedy. There is plenty to enjoy here if not a lot to
think about. Generally well made this film is a good example of
silent comedy as you would expect from two of the big names of the
era.
4/5
