Some find these an acquired taste, but a lot of us silent comedy fans really like these bizarro one-reelers. Do you have the DVDs we released? undercrankproductions.com/the-mishaps-of-musty-suffer/
Thank you, so much, for bringing us Musty Suffer! I've been waiting over a year for you to post some more Musty videos, so I finally bought both DVD's and the companion book. These are so much fun and the music is perfect! I've seen your name in the credits of silent movies over the years on TCM Silent Sundays and loved your work. I hope you can find some more Harry Watson Jr.
We've run a couple of the Musty Suffer shorts on The Silent Comedy Watch Party, and Steve Massa has discussed some of the history on these films, their star (Harry Watson, Jr.) and director (Louis Myll).
Thanks for posting! Not as imaginative as some of the others I've seen so far, but still appreciate the opportunity to see it. He's more just foolish here as opposed to his sort of otherworldly weirdness in other whirls.
Yeah, SHOWING SOME SPEED is sort of a companion piece to BLOW YOUR HORN, the other film in which Musty is a messenger. They're both good, but HORN is slightly better and that's why it wound up on the DVD. Glad you enjoyed this one, nonetheless!
What appeals to me in some of the others is similar to what appeals to me about Mr. Bean: It's as if they are aliens dropped into our world without an instruction manual to tell them how to navigate even the simplest things. They make it up as they go along, with often bizarre results.
I never thought about the Mr. Bean/alien parallel, but with the "fairy tramp" element in the Musty films and all that, he does seem to be from another universe.
I love that aspect of the Musty whirls; they are fantastic with, usually, no explanation at all. Although at least one, if I am remembering rightly, turns out to be a dream, doesn't it? I need to watch my set! So far, I have only seen the ones online and the ones at the AFI.

Delightful. Nice print, great score. Thanks so much for introducing me to this under-
known personality.
Glad you enjoyed this! Kudos to the Library of Congress for preserving the series and for helping to make these available.
AWESOME!!! Thanks Ben! Cheers🍻

Who the hell is Musty?

Well, I am a huge fan, so even a lesser whirl is still good fun in my book!
