Squibs' Honeymoon
''Squibs' Honeymoon'' is a 1923 British silent comedy film directed by George Pearson and starring Betty Balfour, Hugh E. Wright and Fred Groves.

It was a rare chance, and we went at once. We were not disappointed: the film was English, with proper tang; the tang of Fielding or Sterne.'Roger Burford, 'What Next, and Then?', ''Close Up'' Vol. II, no. 2 (February 1928) p. 41 Burford's comments help place the ''Squibbs'' films perfectly in British culture between the wars. They were very much working-class comedy, drawing on a vernacular, per ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
