The Bees' Buzz (1929)

An American comedy directed by Mack Sennett.
Two men try to stop a wedding. One of them gets bees in his pants.
At only 20 minutes duration, there isn't much to write about. This was mostly physical comedy, although it was a talkie. The production value with audio and video included was not good. There was a cow costume scene, the ending of which included a cartoon tail on a bull. I'm giving it a weird pink rating and announcing that I will no longer review any film under 45 minutes in duration, unless it's just so good that I have to.

Bluebeard (1944)

An American talkie directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, starring John Carradine.
A puppeteer who strangles women set his sights on a dressmaker.
The audio and video seemed like they were from 1904 rather than '44. The plot was dry and the characters drier; Mummy dry. Being totally devoid of style, this film should have been put out of it's misery sooner because an hour and 10 minutes was too much and I turned it off half way through. I have to rate it shit.
