All I had to see was the opening monolog, the year, and style of this movie to know I loved it. I love the 20s, 30s, and 40s films, the silver screen. This is takes the cake in so many ways! A true gem.

A good, old-fashioned melodrama. What a delight this is! Overacting done just perfectly. A villain, a damsel in distress, this has it all! I really enjoyed this and I hope you do, too!

This is so _fresh!!_ The style of humour – there's nothing quite like it.

What an interesting movie. The "Wicked Witch of the West" singing, shades of Dudley-Do-Right, slap-stick comedy from Buster Keaton, who could ask for anything more. A fun way to spend some time, thanks for the download. Joe S

"I lived a villain, and so, a villain I will die!" So inspiring (to the wrong sort of people).

Keep tongue planted firmly in cheek, and this film will be a lot of fun to watch. Parodying the old Perils of Pauline-type movies was done brilliantly by cartoons from this era--Fanny Zilch, Dover Boys, Mighty Mouse operettas--but this is the first live-action try I've seen that gets it right. Good stuff.

What a fun parody. This must have been fun for the actors. Thanks for posting! 😊

Buster Keaton and the Wicked Witch of the West? This is going to be good!

25.00 I had to watch it twice just to see if my laughter was justified and I say verily, it was.

Mighty Mouse, Pearl Pureheart, & Oilcan Harry made into people!
