So, 'Call Again' from 1928 directed by J.A. Howe is a curious little comedy featuring Edward Everett Horton. You know, Horton has that distinct knack for playing bemused characters, and here he's caught up in a rather absurd scenario. The pacing is relatively brisk, which suits the chaotic atmosphere of a school. The whole setup feels like a farce, and you can’t help but chuckle at the predicaments he finds himself in as he tries to dodge the headmistress and the cops. It’s not just a slapstick affair; there's this underlying theme of youthful mischief versus authority. Worth noting, the practical effects are simple yet effective, adding to that overall charm of the silent era. It’s a fun watch for sure, especially if you're into comedies that tread the line between innocence and chaos.
