The Mack Sennett Collection Vol. 1 is a delightful collection of some of the earliest comedic films from one of the pioneers of American cinema: Mack Sennett. These silent films are from the early 1900s and showcase the talent of some of the biggest stars of the day, including Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand.

The collection includes over two dozen silent films, each one guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The physical comedy is both slapstick and clever, and itâs amazing to see how these early filmmakers managed to create so much humor with such limited technology.

One of the highlights of the collection is Mabel Normandâs performance. She was one of the biggest stars of the time and itâs easy to see why. Her on-screen charisma and comic timing are impeccable. She shines in films like Mabelâs Strange Predicament, one of the earliest appearances of Charlie Chaplinâs iconic Tramp character.

Speaking of Chaplin, heâs also featured in several films in the collection. Although his Tramp character is not fully formed yet, you can see glimpses of the character that would become his most famous creation. In a film like The Fatal Mallet, for example, Chaplinâs physicality and sense of humor are already apparent.

The collection also includes films from other talented performers, such as Fatty Arbuckle and Ford Sterling. Their performances are just as hilarious and impressive as those of Normand and Chaplin.

One of the standout features of the collection is the quality of the restoration work. These are old films and itâs incredible to see how theyâve been brought back to life. The picture quality is sharp and clear, and the soundtrack is an original orchestral score created just for this release. Itâs amazing to think that these films have been given new life for modern audiences to enjoy.

Another feature of the collection is the extensive bonus features. These include audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes documentaries, and even some rare footage from the era. Itâs a wealth of information and adds a lot of value to the release.

Overall, the Mack Sennett Collection Vol. 1 is a fantastic release thatâs sure to please fans of silent comedy. The films are hilarious, the restoration work is impressive, and the bonus features are extensive. Itâs a must-have for fans of early cinema and for those who appreciate the art of physical comedy.

Mack Sennett Collection Vol. 1 is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (50 episodes). The series first aired on February 15, 1909.
