5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect and Timeless, March 29, 2000
This review is from: Long Pants [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have never laughed harder or longer at anything than Baby Face Harry Langdon starring in the comic masterpiece "Saturday Afternoon". What was most surprising to me was it would definately be rated "PG-13" if released today- and that's a good thing! Never offensive, but not too too tame either. My six year old son couldn't stop laughing and my grandparents are still talking about it. I'm sorry, but nothing out today can touch this stuff. It's timeless, it's hilarious and the video transfer is amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute Little Silent, May 22, 2006
This review is from: Long Pants [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Harry Langdon is often labeled "The Fourth Silent Genius" by historians, but it seems that people either love him or just don't get it. This film is certainly not the one you want to see to fall in love with him. However, it is a sweet movie on its own merits.

The story concerns a young man (Langdon) whose family has kept him in short pants for his whole life. They believe it will keep him innocent and out of trouble. It seems they were right; when he gets long pants he falls in love with a troublesome but beautiful girl (Alma Bennett). Although he is engaged to another (Priscilla Bonner) (who he is willing to do anything to get rid of), he follows the beauty everywhere including to jail and out again in a crate.

There are some classic gags utilized, some belly laughs to be had, but also a rather disturbing scene of comedy rooted in murder. This is one silent comedy you might want to ban your children from.

1.0 out of 5 stars the unfunniest, August 14, 2002
By 
A. Grossman (Florence, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Long Pants [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the film that practically destroyed Harry Langdon's career. Supposedly a comedy it has nothing going for it. Frank Capra disowned this disaster and it's easy to see why. Langdon's comedic characater was very fragile and had to be carefully handled. This film oblitertes it. To appreciate Langdon's talent get The Strong Man, a classic Capra comedy in which Langdon shines and one that the great director was very proud of.
