cool suit from 1924

[ID: A screenshot from the 1924 movie "Sherlock Jr." showing a character in a suit standing in front of a window to a candy store looking in while the cashier watches him through the window. The movie is in black and white, with his suit appearing grey, striped with very thin darker stripes. He wears under it a white shirt with light grey bars, and a dark tie with white dashes. He wears a black bowler hat. Some boxes of candies are visible in the window, one marked $3 per box, the other $2. End ID.]

This movie's public domain! Watch here! Or on youtube, or the web archive...or anywhere else lol.

"I lost a dollar. Did you find it?" "Describe it."

I liked the part with the banana peel.

This movie blew me away. All the humour landed, the stunts and special effects were incredibly creative and crisply edited, and everything was delivered with perfect comedic timing.

The movie-within-a-movie dream sequence was absolutely hysterical, and the Sherlock Jr. character had me laughing the whole time. The whole scene with the motorcycle was especially wild.

So much fun packed into such a short runtime. An excellent little movie.
