Henry’s Flivver Flop: A 1920s Comedy Spin

Buckle up for a bumpy ride with "Twas Henry’s Fault," a silent 1920s comedy where Henry’s dream of a sport roadster clashes with Betty’s sedan hopes, landing them with a rickety flivver instead. Betty, sparked by thrift and a yen for headlights, buys the old jalopy and bursts into Henry’s office crowing, “Henry, we have a car!” His pals pile out for a look, ribbing him mercilessly as the car sputters—when it deigns to run at all. That night, Henry hauls the gang home for dinner, only to find Betty and the flivver AWOL, stalled in the countryside for a “long rest.” Mishaps pile up in black-and-white glory—breakdowns, chases, and chaos—until the tale spins right, and even Henry grudgingly nods to the flivver’s quirky charm. A rollicking gem for silent film buffs, comedy lovers, and vintage car fans, it’s a Model T misadventure with heart.
