Grandma's Boy**  
(US 1922)
Pathe/Hal Roach. 61m. bw. silent

A meek, ineffectual young man learns to toughen up with some inspirational assistance from his descendants.
The Civil War flashback seems a curious afterthought, but is the highlight of a standard, engaging Lloyd vehicle, one of his first features, although slightly thin on gags.

Starring: Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Charles Stevenson, Anna Townsend, Dick Sutherland, Noah Young.
