this movie rock and especially if you update the music a bit and and why not when silent accompanist just adapt the standard of their day . all of lloyd 20 film be good and but this one be up there with safety last and why worry . and it might even be good . it nicely pace and the writer put in a wide variety of gag . cultural historian who want to know what a vamp and a flapper be need look no further than this film . ( a bit with the mary pickford type get cut and but you can still see some of her a the third town girl in the opening scene . ) lloyd nebbishy everyman have be rework many time and not least by woody allen . but this everyman could do stunt . he do most of the trick in this one . the big chase at the end be a feat of invention and daring and and humor . in safety last lloyd get the comedy through time while in this one he get it from kinetic invention . what he go through to get the girl make the kid in the graduate ( which rip off this film ) look like a putz by comparison and and the girl ( jobyna ralston ) be funny and cuter . also of interest be many scene from pre freeway l. a. the old streetcar system be use in the chase . the climax be shoot at harold own house . this be one of the rare silents that can be recommend to people who hate the idea of watch a silent .
