THE CHASER
starring Harry Langdon
PHOTOPLAY
April 1928

Possibly Harry Langdon was chasing after a new contract while he was making this picture. If that was his idea, he failed miserably. "The Chaser" would seem to spell his doom as a leader in the screen comedy field. The picture is just a series of gags with little or no story. It concerns a henpecked husband with a nagging wife and a shrew of a mother-in-law. Several of the gags are rough, especially the castor oil gag and the "when I kiss 'em, they stay kissed" episode. Gladys McConnell as the wife doesn't get much of a chance. If you miss this one, you won't miss much.
