Mighty Like a Moose

Charley Chase, 1926, Hal Roach: a homely couple have separate plastic surgery and then try to cheat with each other, neither recognizing the face they paid for. Leo McCarey directed. Two reels. Chase and Vivien Oakland as people who wanted to be someone else and got the wish. It is a marriage comedy about the close-up as a lie, and McCarey already timing like the man who would do The Awful Truth.
