Harold Lloyd's GIRL SHY (1924)

  • Marcus Wehrenberg Des Peres Cinema 12701 Manchester Road Des Peres, MO, 63131 United States (map)

You've likely seen SAFETY LAST -- maybe even THE FRESHMAN or SPEEDY, but have you seen GIRL SHY? Often overlooked in favor of the aforementioned Harold Lloyd gems, GIRL SHY is a fun and quirky romance, complete with awkward glances, swoony daydreaming, a disruptive dog, and a scheming bigamist.

While Keaton was known as the master of daredevil stunts, Lloyd matches skill in this film with one of the most epic race/chase sequences, as he utilizes just about every mode of transportation you can imagine.

Jobyna Ralston brings her radiance, skill, and chemistry -- and the Robert Israel score makes this one of Lloyd's best feature films. Give it a chance. You won't regret it.

This film will be paired with a Mabel Normand short, TBA.
