I can’t really get into slapstick comedy. Maybe I have an underdeveloped sense of humor, but when our cute little hero is getting beaten up or is in physical danger, I worry about him; I don’t laugh. I didn’t get Tom & Jerry or Wile E Coyote & Roadrunner as a kid, either. So I usually wouldn’t go for this sort of thing, but this really is a superlative slapsticker. Harold Lloyd is a brilliant actor, actually, and sort of… completely gorgeous. |

Yes, I agree. This is the movie that I show to people who think they’re too good or sophisticated for silent movies. And yes Harold is completely gorgeous. I just look at him and sigh completely in love with the guy.

Comment by Mango — 12 September 2008 @ 12 September 2008I was always under the impression that it was the people who watched silents that thought they were too good or sophisticated for others. Or am I mistaken?
