The Battle of the Century
The comedy that you've read about, heard about, and waited for.
Directed by Clyde Bruckman
Produced by Hal Roach Studios, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A raucous silent-era slapstick comedy built on physical gags and absurd scheming, driven by pie fights and pratfalls rather than character depth.
Fight manager takes out an insurance policy on his puny pugilist and then proceeds to try to arrange for an accident so that he can collect.
