The Champion (1915)

Third viewing; previously viewed on January 28, 2006 and January 20, 2007.

 A homeless man employs himself as a sparring assistant to a boxer. Armed with a horseshoe in his glove, he knocks the boxer out and, viewed then as a promising fighter, accepts to challenge the world champion.

Somewhat below average comic short which lacks really inspired ideas but is reasonably well done. As I remarked in my first review (link above), it's mostly aimed at kids.

Rating: 44 (down from 62)
