Home Cured

Home Cured is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Roscoe Arbuckle.[1] Although Arbuckle was acquitted in the third trial for the death of Virginia Rappe, he could not obtain work in Hollywood under his own name, so he adopted the pseudonym William Goodrich for directing the comedy shorts he made under his contract with Educational Film Exchanges.[2]
