THE MISFIT - starring Clyde Cook, with Blanche Payson and Joe Roberts. A rarely-seen silent comedy short. Henpecked hubby Clyde totes groceries and paints floors for his wifey, escaping at last...by joining the U.S. Marines. The basic training sequence was shot at the Buster Keaton studios; this may be "Big" Joe Roberts' final screen role.

Overall a very average slapstick comedy. But there are several things here. Clyde Cook was never a major name, but a recognizable comedian at the time. Most of the gags he performs are pretty standard seen many times before. But Cook has a certain timing which makes it work anyhow. Take a basic military line-up and wrong turn on every command type sequence. He does it so magnificently. So light on his feet! Bet he was a good dancer. Loved the floor paining joke too. Very clever and well timed!
