Last post by M.10rda - Today at 11:45:42 AMCOPS (1922):
I thought I reviewed this one but I can't find it in either thread. Maybe I typed it and clicked "Post" but I was signed out or someone else had posted in the meantime and it didn't post. Curse my OCD...
This is Buster Keaton in his early solo period, following Roscoe Arbuckle's unofficial cancelling/deep cover career post-1921....... Keaton writes, directs, and stars w/ a mostly blank/passive expression, which was a popular/Chaplinesque approach to silent clowning, but I liked it better in Keaton's earlier appearances when he would actually emote. The first half of eighteen-minute COPS is pretty slow and lame, but the second half goes big. Keaton's horse and buggy mishap interrupts and eventually wreaks havoc on a large police parade, inciting an entire metropolitan police force to pursue him on-foot with a bloodlust. I've remarked in previous silent reviews about how early silents often tried to recycle the same dozen or two dozen extras, in the same shot, over and over to appear like a mob of scores or hundreds. Not here....... COPS definitely has fifty or more dudes in police uniforms running through city streets after Buster - and that verite makes all the difference, comedically speaking.
There's also a pretty crazy stunt involving a de facto teeter-totter near the end. Always amazes me that more people weren't killed on silent film shoots. (A bunch were, but it's amazing that fatality wasn't even more common.) 3/5 Or 3.5 if you're particularly ACAB.
