The Gown Shop (1923)

Second viewing; previously viewed without a subsequent review on February 20, 2020.

The film revolves around a series of accidents involving the gown shop's employees, the manager, and a few clients. The protagonist is a salesman at the shop who gets in conflict with his boss and with another employee. The incidents involve ladders, a pond with fishes and even a small alligator, a revolving door, a clothes iron, etc.

Routine example of the slapstick genre, with frantic action and the use of an indoor space, its configuration and objects as instruments of disaster.

Rating: 35
