Super-Hooper-Dyne Lizzies (1925) ***


A comedy about an inventor (Andy Clyde) and his clumsy assistant (Billy Bevan). It's most memorable for the classic sequence with Bevan pushing a long line of cars (thinking he's only pushing his own car). The robbery scene at the end features an exceptionally disturbing example of anti-black racism in Hollywood cinema. Directed by D.Lord and produced by Mack Sennett.
