Aug 14thGirl Shy** US 1924. Pathe/Harold Lloyd. 88m. bw. silent
A haberdasher's assistant tries to save the girl he has fallen in love with from a bigamous marriage to another man.
Slightly contrived star vehicle, Lloyd's first breakaway film from Hal Roach, relying more on his character's bashful charisma than spectacular stunts, although the film works its way up to a fine, hectic climax where the hero dashes through various modes of transport to get to the wedding in time.
Written by: Tommy Gray, Ted Wilde, Tim Whelan, Sam Taylor.
Directors: Fred Newmeyer, Sam Taylor.
Starring: Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Carlton Griffin, Richard Daniels, Judy King.
Photography: Walter Lundin.
Music: Jim Parker.
