Cert U
A nearly perfect two-reel comedy that showcases Harold Lloyd’s originality and talents. Here, he is a penniless and hungry young man who tries to save an heiress from kidnappers and help her secure her inheritance. Exuberant chases abound …
Dir: Harold LLoyd, USA, 22 mins, 1919
Programme Notes
“One of the more enjoyable Harold Lloyd slapstick comedies” Dennis Schwartz, Ozu’s World
Comments
- Lovely intertitles from H M Walker but otherwise just a vehicle for the staged comic chases
- Very good but not one of Lloyd’s best
