5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Borgman Feature, January 17, 2009

This review is from: The Deserter (DVD)

Borgman's physical portrayal of The Deserter is a smooth blend of Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton with great pratfalls and timing. I would recommend this as required viewing for highschoolers studying the Revolutionary War for its pagentry, uniforms, and battle scenes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Modern Day Silent Comedy!, July 27, 2011

By 

Arthur Wanniker (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Deserter (DVD)

"A British drummer accidentally deserts his regiment," so the story unfolds. The war is the American War of Independence, and the drummer is a great physical comedian. This is a fun example of what can still be done today with the silent form of comedy. A great achievement at blending silent comedy with the color film form.

Evidence of a Keaton and Laurel influence can be seen. I liked the way that the comedy storyline is interwoven with a dramatic war story. The choice of music is excellent and the period costumes and warfare are well translated to the small screen. There is no way to place this film correctly, it's a comedy but also a drama. It shows battle scenes that could be right out of D. W. Griffith or comedy scenes that could be right out of Keaton. Well done.

This review is from: The Deserter (DVD)

I enjoyed this film - the historic re-creations, the musical score and of course the comedy! Eric has made a very entertaining film, fun for all ages. If you like Revolutionary battles, slapstick comedy and action, this film is worth seeing.
