My grandad was in his his 20s in the 20s and sadly I never really knew him as he passed away around the time I was born ( in the 1970s). These old flicks are great and in a way a little insight into the world he lived in. Thanks

wonder if you had that old movie about a man trying to help a woman who lost her clothes and had to hide her but also he needs to go to meet the parent of his future wife and give a good impression. I remember a funny scene were the naked girl was using something to cover herself and was hiding by a group of gentleman and one a gust of wind from below she losted i dont if itas bed sheets but the man grab it and was dancing pretend to disctract her mother in law XD.
Frank Capra was more or less responsible for making Harry Langdon a star. Capra was working as a gag man in one of the comedy studios, when the boss hired Langdon because of his vaudeville act. But nobody could figure out what to do with this pasty-faced man-baby. Capra saw gold where nobody else saw anything, and developed Langdon's character, much to everybody's surprise.
@@kmterpin My remarks are based on Capra's autobiography. When Capra's film with Langdon was a hit, Langdon started getting a swelled head, and wouldn't take direction any more, so his following films fell flat. Perhaps that's what WilliamT1964 was talking about.
@@CamhiRichard Interesting! To me, he seemed like a poor man's Stan Laurel. He was cute, a little bit funny --but NOWHERE in the same league as the great Buster Keaton, the legendary Laurel & Hardy or pre-code Wheeler & Woolsey!
@@kmterpin Agree. And I'd add Harold Lloyd to your list, and actually many more -- for example, Charlie Chase, Rosco Arbuckle, Fields, Marx Brothers ....

Sounds very much like like Limousine Love (1928) , starring Charley Chase,,Viola Richard and Edgar Kennedy. Nice short comedy.
Please

Actually, Capra did not see anything in Langdon. He was not impressed with him at all.
So which is it ... impressed? not impressed? 🤷🏼♀️
