Film Notes

The Star Boarder, the most charming of this group of films supervised by Sennett, was partly shot in gardens and orchards, and has the verve and simplicity of a comic strip. Charlie is the pet of the landlady (Minta Durfee), carrying on a flirtation under the nose of her husband (Edgar Kennedy), who has his own extra-marital interests. All this is enthusiastically recorded by their mischievous son, who possesses – just like the boy Chaplin in his Sherlock Holmes days – a box camera.
