ComedyWar

An American doughboy, stationed in France during the Great War, goes on a daring mission behind enemy lines and becomes a hero.

A whirlwind of silent-film gags and wartime antics. This short film delivers rapid-fire laughs and a surprisingly patriotic punch, all wrapped up in a chaotic, energetic package. Pure, unadulterated fun from the Great War era.
