I Want to Speak to Johnson(1917)

I Want to Speak to Johnson is a silent comedy about two tram railgrinders whose friendship is tested by one man's drinking problem. When Jørgensen lands in the hospital, his concerned friend Nokke rushes to visit him. But Nokke's lack of wit works against him—the hospital staff mistakes him for a patient in need of admission himself. As Nokke fumbles through the corridors searching for his friend, chaos ensues. The film captures the warmth and humor of their bond while exploring the toll of addiction, all wrapped in the slapstick charm of early cinema.
