''Mighty Like a Moose'' (1926) is a Charley Chase short silent film that was directed by Leo McCarey. It was released on July 18, 1926.〔Anthony, Brian and Edmonds, Andy (1998). ''Smile When the Raindrops Fall: The Story of Charley Chase''. ISBN 0-8108-3377-8〕 In this short silent comedy, a homely husband and his equally unsightly wife improve their looks with plastic surgery without telling each other. The two later meet, and not recognizing each other, begin to flirt, both thinking they are cheating on their spouse. The film is representative of Chase's adroit blend of farce, surrealism, and sight gags. This two-reel short comedy is considered by some scholars to be Chase's finest silent film〔Solan, Yair. "''Mighty Like a Moose''." ''The World of Charley Chase''. http://charleychase.50webs.com/movient15.htm〕 and is routinely listed among the greatest of all silent comedy short subjects.〔Maltin, Leonard (1972). ''The Great Movie Shorts''. Crown Publishers.〕 In 2007, ''Mighty Like A Moose'' was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, which recognizes American films deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."〔"National Film Registry 2007." http://www.loc.gov/film/nfr2007.html〕 ==Cast== *Charley Chase as Mr. Moose *Vivien Oakland as Mrs. Moose *Gale Henry as Wallflower at Party *Charles Clary as Dentist *Ann Howe as The Mooses' Maid *Malcolm Denny as Gigolo at Party 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mighty Like a Moose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
