    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During the Coney Island magic mirror scene, Harold Lloyd gives the middle finger to his reflection in the mirror. This obscene gesture was permitted by censors in motion pictures prior to the enforcement of the draconian Hayes Code in 1934 and can be seen in a number of other contemporary films such as Elokuvalentäjät (1932). According to modern sources, this may be the earliest example of this gesture on film.
    • Goofs
      When Speedy (Harold Swift) gets his summons to appear in court for his reckless driving, it's dated July 30, and he's to appear on August 9, 1927. A minute later he reads the "Last Minute News" column in the paper about Babe Ruth signing baseballs, and it says at the bottom (before they focus on the ball signing particulars) that he hit his 58th home run yesterday. He did that on September 29, 1927 (and actually hit two that day, bringing his total to 59). By July 30 of that year, he had hit "only" 34 home runs.
    • Quotes

      Babe Ruth: [after riding in Speedy's cab] If I ever want to commit suicide, I'll call you.

    • Alternate versions
      In 1992, The Harold Lloyd Trust and Photoplay Productions presented a 85-minute version of this film in association with Thames Television International and Channel Four, with a musical score written by Carl Davis. The addition of modern credits stretched the time to 86 minutes.

    Essential for Lloyd fans; New York in the 20s the icing on top
    A delightful Harold Lloyd piece in which, in a nice change of pace, his character is a self-assured, confident young man living in New York during the roaring twenties, who loves baseball as much as he loves his girlfriend. Trouble is afoot however, when business tycoons try to buyout his father-in-law's lone horse and buggy track for their development. Things turn unlawful when goons are hired to try and thwart the buggy's run, which must be made at least once every 24 hours, or Pop can lose his license.

    Everything plays out in the traditional Lloyd way, with wonderful gags and set pieces, but the biggest treat of all is the roughly twenty minute escape Lloyd takes with his girl to Coney Island. Wonderfully shot, it is truly a pleasure to see Coney Island in it's hey day. As well, Babe Ruth does a nice turn playing himself.

    A must see.
