A Clever Dummy (1917)
Black & White
Starring: Ben Turpin
A pleasant little film from crosseyed Ben Turpin. The tape I have with this movie on it contains several other Turpin movies, and from watching them, I believe the reason he didn't achieve the fame of the great silent comics was because he never really solidified his character. He plays a thief, a milquetoast, a masher, a victim.

The Eyes Have It (1928)
Running Time: 23 mins Black & White
Starring: Ben Turpin
The tale of an average guy who wants to read the newspaper or fish in peace. Unfortunately, he can't because of a brat of a son and a rough mother-in-law. Such a simple story that will have you gasping your breath.
