    Hamilton at the tail end of his career.
    For a man with 235 film appearances according to IMDB, Lloyd Hamilton is clearly one of the more forgotten screen comics. While he was very popular in silents (including the godawful 'Ham and Bud' shorts), by the early 30s he was practically unemployable due to his alcoholism and had far fewer films to his credits during this era. In fact, only three years after "False Impressions", he would be dead as a result of his heavy drinking.

    "False Impressions" is a short made for Paramount by Mack Sennett. Sennett himself had also fallen on hard times, losing his studio back in the 20s and working for others once again in the 20s and 30s.

    The film begins at a department store where Lloyd works in the toy department. His girlfriend, Maizie (Marjorie Beebe), is giving Lloyd the cold shoulder, as she figures he'll never amount to much. Soon she meets some rich guy she pretends to be a society lady and she soon accepts an invitation to a party at his estate. Lloyd follows, disguised as a butler with a mustache.

    While I found most of the film rather routine, the ending was quite funny. But I'll say no more because I don't want to spoil it. Despite Hamilton's stalled career at the time, he and the rest of the cast managed to make a fun little short.
