Mack Sennett (born Michael Sinnott; January 17, 1880 – November 5, 1960) was a Canadian born actor, director, comedian and studio head, known as the 'King of Comedy'. He produced more than 1,000 silent films and several dozen talkies during a 25-year career.
The vintage Sennett films, however, such as His Bitter Pill (1916), A Small Town Idol (1921), and The Shriek of Araby (1923) were often biting parodies or incisive satires that mocked the foibles of an increasingly mechanized society.
