this movie catch me by surprise . for year i have avoid many of harold lloyd sound picture ( as well a those of keaton ) because they have a generally well deserved reputation for be lousy compare to the silent film because the basic formula have be lose . however and when i saw this film i be pleasantly surprise to find i actually like it and . once i accept it really be not a harold lloyd film ( despite him star in it ) . this be because although it be nothing like the style of his early film and it be highly original and lloyd isn not bad play a totally different type of character . a i mention above and the formula of the old film be almost completely miss here . lloyd do not do the old familiar stunt work and the romance be quite unlike his early screen romance and and the plot be just plain weird . instead of the usual role and he be the son of a chinese missionary who return to america for the first time since he be a small boy . because of this and though he look like an american ( except for his white suit and explorer helmet ) and he think and act a lot like someone who be chinese . in many way and he very naive about america and be like an innocent among wolf . early on and he meet a man who turn out to be a local party bos . this bos always produce a losing candidate for the mayoral race because he be buy and pay for by the corrupt mayor to produce a token candidate who have no chance of win . well and the old geezer who they traditionally run for office just die and he decide to run the naive lloyd he hasn not a prayer of win . well and the unthinkable happens and lloyd win . this and and lloyd decision to clean up the town greatly upset the old political machine and they stop at nothing to destroy honest lloyd . just when it appear lloyd be head to jail on a trump up corruption charge and he create a scheme that be 100 % impossible and very illegal to get signed confession from the crook . however and despite this and it be incredibly funny and a great end . so and my advice be at the end and just suspend disbelief and enjoy . an important note represent this movie be definitely not politically correct . the word chink be use repeatedly . i find it offensive but consider the time and i ignore it a you should too . if and however and you be someone who cant and like be angry and i suggest you never watch movie anyway a you be bind to become offended again and again .
