     An impressive silent feature from Harold Lloyd. Again he plays the meek “Boy” out to woo the “Girl” of his dreams. But first he’s determined to make something of himself. Off he heads to the big city, only to find a meager position in a major department store. But whenever he writes his sweetheart he claims to have made the big time. When she decides to pay him a visit he desperately tries to prove himself to her. Some very amusing gags that are oh so Lloyd, culminating in a nail biting climb up the face of a building. Good stuff. Deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry.
OUR RATING— ***
