Rough Seas (1931)
* (out of 4)
Really bad Charlie Chase short has him trying to sneak his French woman (Thelma Todd) and pet monkey onto a ship heading for America. There's not a single laugh to be found in this short, which runs 27-minutes and that seems to be at least twenty-minutes too long. Chase isn't acting as himself but as something I haven't seen before and Todd is wasted, although she gets a few unintentional laughs with her French accent, which goes back and forth with her American one.
As of now none of Chase's Columbia shorts are on DVD so if you want to see them then you'll have to keep an eye on TCM.
