Charley Chase was among the most underrated comedians of his era.

This volume undertakes a comprehensive analysis of his most critically acclaimed films and the hitherto unacknowledged portion of his filmography, which encompasses seminal yet frequently eclipsed milestones in the realm of film comedy.
