Genre: Comedy
Released: 1930-04-19
Duration: 47 min
Rating: 6.2
Cast: Charley Chase, Georgette Rhodes, Albert Pollet

French version of the Charley Chase long short.

This one is a curiosity, a foreign version of the Charley Chase - Roach - MGM ALL TEED UP where the lead (& director) appear to be uninhibited by the need to do their lines in French.

They are surrounded by the Hollywood French speaking contingent who alternated these versions with parts in English language efforts.

To win the heroine Charley takes to the links, out smarting the snobby players who recruit him to make up a foursome so they won't have to use a player they don't like.

This one is passable by the standards of early sound comedy with the gags on the obvious side and the pacing a bit slack.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
