Valentine's Day with Harold! SPEEDY (1928)

  • Arkadin Cinema and Bar 5228 Gravois Avenue St. Louis, MO, 63116 United States (map)

Grab your sweetie and come see SPEEDY! Admission includes a bubbly beverage to toast with your darling at this Valentine's Day screening!

Speedy was the last silent feature to star Harold Lloyd—and one of his very best. The slapstick legend reprises his “Glasses Character,” this time as a good-natured but scatterbrained New Yorker who can’t keep a job. He finally finds his true calling when he becomes determined to help save the city’s last horse-drawn streetcar, which is operated by his sweetheart’s crusty grandfather. From its joyous visit to Coney Island to its incredible Babe Ruth cameo to its hair-raising climactic stunts on the city’s streets, Speedy is an out-of-control love letter to New York that will have you grinning from ear to ear.
