Councel on De Fence (1934) - Harry Langdon

<< < (2/2)

HomokHarcos:
Wow, Harry Langdon has a moustache! He certainly is not playing the childlike character here. His speaking voice is actually just fine. I notice he uses some bits from his older movies. Like when the he sees the police dummy and thinks it is real is in Long Pants. In these early shorts Columbia used a lot more location shooting, compared to later on when they shot everything on a set. Actually, the comedic style is different from the Jules White past-paced slapstick mayhem, which makes me think he must have given the comedians more influence at this time.
