Romans and Rascals (1918)

Directed by Larry Semon

Overview

The Roman setting provides ample opportunity for a very high concentration of gag titles, many of which are quite witty and many of which are quaint for deriving their humor from the juxtaposition of having ancient Romans use a lot of hip 1918-era slang. The whole thing is an excuse for a good send-up of how the Roman Empire has been depicted in “serious” plays, movies, &c.

Length 9 minutes
