My mom reviews Girl Shy (1924), starring and more or less directed by the great silent film actor, comedian, and daredevil, Harold Lloyd.

To me and my mom, this is a perfect movie. Not just hilarious, but timeless, wonderfully shot, with a great score from Robert Israel, and a great story that has influenced many movies since, including The Graduate. Some of the Little Rascals are in this movie, too.

Lloyd's stunts in other movies like Safety Last, where he climbs up the side of a building and hangs off a giant clock (and High and Dizzy) are the heritage that great stunt performers like Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible movies and Jackie Chan inherited. Lloyd shows such effort to entertain with the chases and stunts that are mixed with comedy that are especially influential on Jackie Chan.

My mom also talks about Lloyd's last silent film, Speedy, in which Babe Ruth has a role. And she wonders how so much of the film industry ended up in Los Angeles. I saw a TCM documentary on film history and think I learned some of the reasons why but have forgotten. So if anyone knows, let me know. My dad could hardly be woken up to give his opinion.

Here's the excellent Harold Lloyd Collection that I have, with 7 DVDs that includes lots of his silent and sound films, documentaries hosted by Leonard Maltin, and 3D glasses to see Lloyd's 3D pictures he took later in life: http://www.amazon.com/Harold-Lloyd-Comedy-Collection-Vols/dp/B000B5XORA
