Visualizing the convergence of Albert Ray's style and the core Comedy narrative.
Phil, as a chap who has imbibed too freely and starts out to visit a friend in a bungalow, supplies all of the comedy. He has all sorts of trouble getting into the house, finally mounting a bus and entering the second story. He is scared by animal skins, skids on the slippery floor and mixes things up generally, in the end he gets on a bus that runs away.
Decades after its release, Cut Loose remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Albert Ray's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
