Speedy

Filmed on the streets of New York in 1928, Speedy is about as good a cinematic time capsule as you'll find.

Lloyd always rejected the sentimentality of Chaplin and the droll cynicism of Keaton. Lloyd just wanted to have fun, and Speedy has it in spades.

An agreeable silent comedy.

Hugely entertaining, if not Lloyd at the peak of his powers.

Highlights include a wild chase scene through New York City traffic, a visit to Coney Island by Speedy and Jane, and a guest appearance by Babe Ruth...

While not a masterpiece on the order of 1923's Safety Last! and 1925's The Freshman, Speedy still ranks as grade-A entertainment from the great Harold Lloyd.
