Engaging comedy from another silent screen clown
4 April 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Charley Chase may not have achieved the type or level of fame or acclaim that Chaplin or Keaton or Arbuckle have, but he was another comedic genius during a golden period of comedy.

"Isn't Life Terrible" tells the story of an average Joe trying to make his way in the world, while he is saddled with his wife's brother (pre-Laurel Oliver Hardy), who complains of chest pains when he hears the word "Work".

This film is not one of Chase's best, but it is still packed with many good laughs, especially when the family goes on a cruise. Look quickly for Fay Wray purchasing a pen.
