The Agonies of Agnes is a 1918 silent film adventure comedy, directed by Marie Dressler and starring Marie Dressler.
Although the plot involves stunts and a villain who kidnaps the title character,[1] much like the serial The Perils of Pauline,[2] the film was usually described as a comedy.[3] "You laugh-lovers will fairly double up with laughter when you see Marie Dressler in The Agonies of Agnes," promised one newspaper review. "it's a scream, a riot, a screech of fun, a howl of delight."[4]
