A grotesque view of the excesses of early 20th century American aristocracy, aptly in accord with the comedic axiom, “A lot is funny, more is funnier, too much is riotously absurd”. The dialogue is not nearly as witty as it seems to want to be, but with visuals like this, who needs words? Parental advisory: includes scenes of gratuitous foxtrot.

Featured elements:

: boozy-woozy; comedy; comedy of manners; dance; dance-trot; farce; fighting systems; gold digger; identity mix-up; infidelity; metatheatre; parody; servitude; social commentary; sports
