Discover Reginald Denny in a charming silent comedy

Oh, Doctor! Tells the story of a highly hipochondriac young man who, convinced that his life will be shortly ending and provided with an insurance, decides to take risks in life, to his new nurse's concern. The story is not bad, but the real point is in the acting. Reginald Denny is convincing and charming as a neurotic young man who gradually discovers life. His is a sober yet amusing manner, in the style which would be later followed by Cary Grant, so this is not a vaudevillian nor a slapstick comedy, but an elegant one, yet filled with great surprising gags. Mary Astor plays the nurse and her serious expression only makes it better. Denny played different types of roles and silent comedy is one of his less known accomplishments.

The Grapevine DVD image quality is fair enough for a Grapevine release, they don't use to be high standards. Part of the footage seems to be missing, as there are a couple of abrupt changes.

Highly enjoyable.
