Two Line Reviews - #207

Short Movie: Laughing Gas (1914)


Plot: Chaplin is an assistant to a dentist; In the absence of the dentist, when Chaplin assumes the role to treat patients all hell breaks loose!

Highlights:
  • There's not much but whatever comedy is shown passes off as 'laughable'.
  • The methods Chaplin use to control the anaesthesia induced laughter of a patient evoke laughter.
Lowlights:
  • The film seems to lack any purpose.
  • The comedy too wasn't unseen off of Chaplin.
No laughing gas this.
