PUNQ

Rated 23 May 2014

A comedy short where the great John Wayne had a bit part. And it was the type of uncredited extra roles he got before he became known. As an American Footballer. Actually he can be spotted playing on both teams! The star of this slapsticker is Johnny Arthur as a sissy boy who everyone picks on. There was a lot of gags I hadn't seen before, even if they were obvious and didn't always make any sense. Highly uneven, but fun enough for this kind of thing and for the rare chance spotting The Duke.
