Second viewing; previously viewed on March 3, 2006.
(*spoilers*) Several people are in a park during an afternoon: a womanizing husband, his wife, their adult daughter, a pretty pickpocket lady, a tramp, a policeman, two idlers. The tramp gets into trouble with all the males in that cohort; he then escorts the womanizer's wife and daughter to their home, and is invited to enter. When the husband and one of the park idlers arrive there, the tramp tries to fool them by disguising himself as a woman.
While not exactly original, this short comedy is somewhat better than my excessively harsh previous review (linked above) assessed it to be. The park segment, while somewhat cliché, has its funny moments; the second part is just standard slapstick, though the main actor in drag is remarkable at his performance -- quite refined and miles away from crude caricature.
Rating: 46 (up from 34)
