(1933)
More like blind, deaf, and dumb adventure. This klutzy doofus goes to London, gets lost in the fog, and strolls into a random house where he just happens to find a bushwhacked Secret Service guy and a couple of crooks who are impersonating this dimwit chick's aunt and uncle. There's a decrepit old guy guarding the front door though, so they have to escape via the roof, where they just happen to bump into a burglar who shows them how to get down and helps them out for the rest of the movie because... Uh, because... Okay, I'll have to get back to you on that one. There is a twist about halfway through (the good guys turn out to be the bad guys, and verse-vica), but one lazy twist hardly makes a difference when everything that happens is so goddamned stupid. I guess I should be thankful though, because when they do try to be clever it makes things even worse: Chick: "If we only had your overcoat..." What in fuck's ass? And let's not forget the part where everyone stops for coffee on their way to get help. Of course since the good guys are the bad guys (and versa-vice) the people they go to for help end up grabbing them. "Don't be frightened!" the main guy tells the chick as the baddies drag him off. Don't be frightened? When she's surrounded by complete incompetence? And I'm not just talking about the plot: this flick is so hopelessly inept that she should count herself lucky that the whole set didn't collapse and kill everybody. I swear, whoever came up with the phrase "The Golden Age of Hollywood" must have been high on all the crack in the world.
