Fatty Joins the Force review
by JoeytheBrit2020-06-28
4/10

"Roscoe Arbuckle is invited to join the police after saving the Commissioner's flighty daughter from drowning (cos that how they did things back then...) but proves to be less than competent. He may be light on his feet for a big man, but Arbuckle is something of a lightweight compared to his comic contemporaries. This poor comedy is thin on both ideas and laughs...."

💡 Did You Know?

One of the films that lay claim to being the first pie in the face. Young rowdies mash a pie in new cop Fatty's face as he sits on a park bench.
