About This Movie

Cured in the Excitement is a 1927 comedy film directed by Mack Sennett. This silent film features notable performances from Billy Bevan and Madeline Hurlock, among others. Its unique premise centers around themes of fitness and physical humor.

The film follows Professor Brawn, who has been training with a dumbbell for so long that he takes on its shape. This comedic premise highlights the absurdity of fitness culture in the 1920s, making it a reflection of societal attitudes toward health and exercise during that era.

As part of the Mack Sennett Comedies, this title showcases the slapstick humor that defined many of Sennett's productions. Collectors of silent films or comedy enthusiasts may find interest in its portrayal of early physical fitness trends. The performances by actors such as Vernon Dent and Ruth Taylor add to the film’s comedic appeal.

Finding a copy of Cured in the Excitement can be a bit of a challenge, as it doesn’t pop up often in collector circles. It was released in a time when many comedies were vying for attention, so while it's not as well-known, its unique premise gives it a certain appeal. There are few prints out there, and most collectors appreciate its oddball nature which sets it apart from the more mainstream offerings of the era.
