What Mad Pursuit(1985)

What Mad Pursuit is a 1931 comedy film following novelist Evan Lorrimer, who accepts an invitation for a quiet weekend retreat on Long Island to escape his grueling American book tour. His hopes for solitude quickly unravel when he discovers the remote estate is anything but peaceful. Instead of the restful escape he craved, Lorrimer finds himself caught in a whirlwind of chaos and complications. The film captures the comedic misadventures that ensue as his carefully planned getaway spirals into unexpected mayhem. What begins as a simple retreat becomes a cautionary tale about the perils of seeking refuge from public life, blending sharp wit with physical comedy in true early-1930s fashion.
