Worth Watching

A Bird's a Bird (1915)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Keystone short has Mr. Walrus (Chester Conklin) coming home and learning that his in-laws are coming over for dinner. He doesn't have anything to serve them so he steals Mr. Spegle's (Slim Summerville) turkey not knowing that he's going to be joining them for dinner. A BIRD'S A BIRD was actually a lot better than I was expecting it to be, although it's certainly far from a classic. I thought the film being two-reels dragged in certain spots and especially early on and it seems each scene just kept going and going. Things started to pick up as it went along and starting with a pretty funny sequence where Mr. Walrus thinks about serving them his parrot or perhaps the cat. The highlight of the film deals with the father (Al St. John) and his extremely long beard. I won't ruin what happens but it was without question one of the funnier moments from any Keystone film I've seen. Both Conklin and Summerville have a nice chemistry in the scenes they share together and they certainly make the material much better than it actually is.
