A subtle sort of humor
11 November 1999
"Up In Mabel's Room" has a gentle slapstick sort of humor. Not like Buster Keaton, but a sort of subtle sit com sort of slapstick. Watching a silent movie is quite unlike a talkie in that you can't look away and still keep track of the storyline by just listening. The only sound is usually a piano. This movie is really funny. It's well written well directed and easy to follow. And the story is funny. But the title may be misleading because it is very clean. It's a shame that it is so difficult to rent silent movies. But I bought this one sight unseen because I remembered the 1944 version and I am very glad.
