Reviews
“A serious contender for Lloyd’s greatest silent movie.”
- Jaime N. Christley, The Village Voice
“Mixes comedy and sentiment with a spectacular chase finale.”
– Leonard Maltin, Classic Movie Guide
“Shows how rewardingly complex silent Hollywood storytelling could be. It reveals Lloyd as a master craftsman of cinematic resources… It’s developed in funny or poignant detail at every instant.”
– David Bordwell
