Grinberg makes this hilarious short in part as homage to the silent film but
also because the silence performs a function to dramatize the end of the film,
when the dialogue switches from being delivered through intertitles to actual
sound. But then that is the punchline of the joke upon which the movie is
based. He captures New York, especially Brooklyn, in a highly original manner,
filming principally servants of the church and religious Jews as they walk
down the street or haggle with the tailor of the title.
