There have been other films casting a star or team of stars in multiple roles: Hal Roach did one of the best of them with Our Relations, starring Laurel & Hardy, and Twice Two was an earlier, similar venture in the same vein, as was Brats. Even the Three Stooges did one of their better movies with Joe Besser built around a similar concept in A Merry Mix-Up (1957). But none of them is as neatly compact as Charley Chase's Four Parts, which the multi-threat comic talent also co-directed. The trick camera work, the editing, and the doubling are spellbinding, and the pacing is just perfect to keep the joke at hand running.
