Ha, that's an Ernst Lubitsch movie, as in "The Ernst Lubitsch Touch" (as it was known back in the day). Looks like we got a glimpse of that touch! lol
Thanks, I'm a huge collector of silents and even though I had heard of this one, I hadn't yet seen it.
Similar to Chaplin's "Floorwalker" scene, which came out the same year.
that tickling took place one-hundred and one years ago! We're the first generation that's able to see such a thing!
