It's a Wild Life

Harold Lloyd wants to marry Bebe Daniels, but her father tells him no. Everyone meets later at a swell party.

Harold had dropped Lonesome Luke several months earlier and was performing in his series of one-reelers to build up the Glasses character. However, in this one, he and director Gilbert Pratt revert to type. Despite the fact that everyone dresses like members of the upper classes, they remain pure hard-knock slapstick comics, offering their gags at a rat-a-tat pace with little in the way of rhyme or reason. While his team liked to vary the sort of comedy they offered and a hard kick in the pants remained standard throughout the shorts, this one is too primitive.

One brief good bit has Harold and Bebe dancing, which is a charming moment.... until he kicks someone in the pants.
