Mr. Motorboat's Last Stand

Overview

“Subtitled ‘A Comedy of the Depression,’ the two-reel film begins with the hero, Mr. Motorboat (played by Leonard “Motorboat” Stirrup, a professional tapdancer), waking up at dawn in an auto junkyard… The scene is much in the mode of Chaplin, though the whole is carried by the effective shots and cutting, unlike Chaplin’s typically static camera and long shots.” —Chuck Kleinhans
