Produced and directed by the brilliant Mack Sennett for Keystone Film Company, Love, Speed and Thrills is the quintessential one reel comedy from the American silent film era. Sennett was the leading producer of such films, and this is unquestionably one of his best. An absolute whirlwind through California in nineteen fifteen, Love, Speed and Thrills is an apt title, the film featuring copious amounts of all three. The fast story involves wife kidnapping, high speed chases, and wonderful slapstick comedy. Quickly culminating with a dangerous scene on a bridge, Love, Speed and Thrills is the best example of silent comedy around. Also not to be missed is an appearance by the infamous Keystone Kops!
