LET'S DO THINGS

Cinemavixion Review

This charming short film, "Let's Do Things," from 1931, offers a delightful glimpse into the comedic stylings of Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts. The narrative, a simple yet effective setup, sees the duo venturing out to a nightclub with two rather dim companions. The humor, likely stemming from the era's penchant for slapstick and situational comedy, is brought to life by the established chemistry of its leads. While the director is credited in external data as Hal Roach, a master of short-form comedy, the core appeal lies in Todd and Pitts' performances, which anchor the film's lighthearted premise. It's a testament to their talent that even a brief outing to a nightclub can provide such an engaging and amusing experience for the audience, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of classic comedy shorts.
