♪ Live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner ♪
U.S., 1925
Directed by Sam Taylor, Fred C. Newmeyer
With Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston
Approx. 76 min. 35mm.
Eager-to-please frosh Harold introduces himself with a nifty-keen jig, goes broke on soda shop treats, makes the team as a tackling dummy, but finally gets his chance at the Big Game. Harold’s satire of '20s college and football mania was his biggest silent success.
