Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It was a box office smash, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people who need a good giggle. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Same wavelength as The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or Fletch.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1914: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
In the Clutches of the Gang is a 1914 movie starring Ford Sterling and George Nichols.
