'''''Fatty's Tintype Tangle''''' is a [[1915 in film|1915]] comedy short film (2 reel).  A man (Fatty), tired of his mother-in-law's henpecking, leaves home in anger and sits on a park bench, where a photographer takes a picture of him sitting next to a married woman, whose husband is not pleased. Conflict ensues.

The movie stars [[Roscoe Arbuckle|Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle]] (who also directed), [[Louise Fazenda]], [[Edgar Kennedy]], [[Minta Durfee]] and [[Frank Hayes (actor)|Frank Hayes]]. Arbuckle performs several feats of dexterity in the first few minutes and, near the end, runs and bounces on 17 closely spaced apparent telephone wires over 20 feet (6 m) above the ground.

In 1995, the film was selected for preservation in the United States [[National Film Registry]] by the [[Library of Congress]] as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Complete National Film Registry Listing |url=https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/complete-national-film-registry-listing/|access-date=2020-10-01|website=Library of Congress}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=The 25 Films for '95 (February 5, 1996) - Library of Congress Information Bulletin|url=https://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9602/nfr2.html|access-date=2020-10-01|website=www.loc.gov}}</ref> It has often been shown on [[Turner Classic Movies]].
