Keep Smiling Synopsis
This Weiss Bros. production starring veteran silent comic Jimmy Aubrey opens with the warning. "Man is clay (a woman's touch and he becomes all wet) and his name is mud." When jobless Jimmy's landlady seizes his clothes for lack of rent payment, he improvises a sailor suit and finds himself vying with a real gob for the love of a girl he's already accidentally brained with his alarm clock. Fleeing the irate seaman, he finds himself winds up stuck at a lunch counter with no money and one very punchy proprietor. Needless to say, things will get messy. Hint: there's pie on the menu. - Dennis Harvey
Fides Synopsis
What is the true power of prayer? This doc examines the impact of speaking to God, from medical and scientific sources, to testimonials from those who've been touched by faith.
"Keep Smiling" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Fides" offers its own unique cult appeal.
