Run ’Em Ragged, Snub Pollard’s 39th starring vehicle, uses familiar slapstick—Over-the-top make-up, ethnic humor, and a chase across Los Angeles’s Echo Park—But there is more here than knockabout; Sophisticated sight gags test the limits of the characters’ perception, making expert use of such props as a seemingly bottomless rowboat.
