No matter how hard I try, how objective I attempt to be, I do not care for Harry Langdon. He is more irritating that amusing. His vacant face provokes annoyance rather than sympathy. However, he has one very strong point-the way he moves his body, for instance, changing abruptly from an agitated to a controlled movement. Although some scenes are amusing, nowhere in the film did I laugh out loud. Getting Lily upstairs to her room, the weightlifting routine, the cannon scene-all are good moments, yet the film as a whole ultimately fails to entertain.
