Wine, Women & Sauerkraut, was put out at Fox in 1927 and probably exists only because of the fact that it was released in 16mm as a "Kodascope" in the late 20's - I was lucky to pick up such a copy on e-Bay a few years ago which has Kodascope's customary yellow tint. It concerns a certain "Nicholas A. Pennyless" (not the only pun in this wild and funny movie) who is the manager of a troupe of scantily clad chorus girls. The girls, still in costumes, return to their hotel after a show, only to be locked out of their rooms for lack of rent. The sheriff is on his way, so the girls scamper out the windows and down the drain pipes and the chase is on. Periodically, when they need to distract attention, they furiously go into their leg kicking routines...and it always works to their advantage. Obviously intentionally risqué, the heavily feathered costumes start to molt as they encounter one close call after another. The cast is relatively unheard of, but the situations are fast, furious and funny. I have never shown it to an unappreciative audience. It is also fun to show something that I KNOW folks haven't seen before...as we are all aware, most of Fox's silent product was lost in those early vault fires.
