Grandma's Glasses
1932 , Monken Hadley (Greater London)
Cat no. 9517
Disappearing glasses spark a comic spectacle.
Amateur filmmaker, cinema historian and railway engineer H.A.V. Bulleid uses slapstick humour and witty intertitles in this farce. When the family dogs team up to steal and bury Grandma's glasses, they spark a farcical chain of events in which our hapless hero attempts to track down the missing spectacles. But even when the glasses 'turn up', the ordeal isn't over as they get stuck up a tree and switched with a bomb. And in the end, it's sure to be the dogs who have the last laugh.
