Harold Lloyd in GIRL SHY (1924) presented by Silents, Please! STL
February 12 : 7:00 pm – 8:45 pm
This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.
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.
