Amusing OFF film
malcolmgsw24 December 2022
This short,made by the Children's Film Foundation for showing at Children's shows on Saturday morning,is of great interest as it was made in and around Nettlefold Studios. A studio that had been operating since the early days of the cinema. It was currently used by Sir Alexander Korda,but sadly this studio would close in the fifties and just one building now remains.

This type of film was particularly common in the silent days. I have a silent comedy from the twenties starting Charlie Murray. There was also Abbott and Costello meeting the Keystone Kops in the fifties. I Here it is the turn of the great Peter Butterworth to keep the kids amused.

Slapstick-infused chaos
Leofwine_draca9 January 2022
A very short little comedy piece from the Children's Film Foundation stable, with Peter Butterworth's recurring character Dickie Duffle - a variation on Chaplin - getting into trouble at a local film studio. It's definitely one for younger audiences but that doesn't stop it being entertaining, with a wealth of slapstick-infused chaos throughout.
