All In Good Fun (1955)

Not a film as such, but a series of obscure comedy silent film clips hosted by a very young looking Bob Monkhouse (in his mid 20s).

You need to be a certain type to enjoy these as there was little humour, mostly poor slapstick; but Bob seemed to enjoy them and I think this probably preempted his later TV series Mad Movies, which I well remember watching in the mid 60s for which he was taken to court I seem to remember for infringing copyright which he got off with because they were from his private collection, or summat like that.

Now, they were funny.
