Fatty Arbuckle



LOVE-1919-Director/star Fatty Arbuckle tries to win his girlfriend (Mabel Normand) back after her father plans to marry her off to some stupid skinny guy (Al St. John; Arbuckle's real life nephew). Lots of characters get kicked in the ass in this very enjoyable violent slapstick silent comedy short. Fatty even dresses as an old woman and then tricks the pastor into marrying him and his beloved. It's from a 4 DVD boxed set called THE FORGOTTEN FILMS OF ROSCOE "FATTY" ARBUCKLE from Laughsmith Entertainment. Only 2 years later Arbuckle's career would be ended by scandal.

Thanks for reading!
