Movie Reviews of When Comedy Was King
Movie Review: Great silent comedy documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Youngson made several documentaries on the old time film comedians. The 1st one, "The Golden Age of Comedy", is probably the best
one, but "When Comedy Was King" is also excellent.
It is made up of clips from many different silent comedies with a running commentary that serves to enhance the comedic value of the
clips.
Covers Charlie Chase, Laurel & Hardy, and many other big name comedians of the silent era.
I highly recommend all of Youngson`s comedy documentaries.
