As Long As You're Not Doing Anything....
It's a half-holiday for the men in the neighborhood. While his friends go off to have a few sets of tennis, Brown's wife sets him some simple chores to perform around the house, with simple and funny comic results.
It's a nicely produced and performed comedy for the era from James Williamson. Williamson was a very inventive British producer-director, an early proponent of the multi-shot story, and quite likely the inventor of the modern chase with 1901's STOP THIEF! Whereas earlier chases had occurred on one set in one shot, with pursuer's clambering out of holes to pursue their prey, Williamson digit in a series of shots, giving some landscape and depth for the chase to take place over. He produced and directed these short movies from 1897 through 1910, and lived until 1933 and age 77.
