Comedy

Directed by Preston Sturges

Cast: Harold Lloyd, Frances Ramsden, Jimmy Conlin, Raymond Walburn, Edgar Kennedy, Arline Judge, Lionel Stander and Rudy Vallee

Madcap comedy by the great Preston Sturges that updates Lloyd’s 1920s glasses character to show what happens to the go-getter twenty years later when he fails to ‘make good’ in a humdrum job.  The films opens with the football game from Lloyd’s “The Freshman” made in 1925.
