I'll Say He Forgot

About This Movie

So, 'I'll Say He Forgot' is this charming 1920 comedy directed by Malcolm St. Clair. It weaves a light-hearted tale around Otie Otis, who hilariously forgets he’s even married. The pacing is brisk, which keeps the energy high as Otie fumbles through his honeymoon. The situational humor really shines, especially when he accidentally wanders into the wrong room, leading to a series of misunderstandings that are both funny and awkward. The performances have this delightful sincerity, and the practical effects, while simple, add to the overall authenticity of the film. It’s that kind of early silent film where the charm lies in its simplicity and the sheer absurdity of Otie’s forgetfulness. You can’t help but smile at the little misadventures.
