Trailer Unavailable
















     A Sailor-Made Man
1921  NR  COMEDY  47min
CAST— Harold Lloyd
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTOR— Fred C. Newmeyer

     Early feature-length effort from Harold Lloyd plays out like two mismatched sketch ideas in the same film. He plays a spoiled millionaire out to prove himself to the father of his lady love. So off he goes to join the Navy, where he becomes somewhat of a pariah to his fellow sailors. Six months later, while on shore leave, he must rescue his girl from the clutches of a sheikh. The two ideas never seem to gel and the comedy is often sketchy in this less than remarkable silent.
OUR RATING— **
