For Heaven's Sake

It stands out in Lloyd's silent filmography for one reason: he plays a rich man, humorously named Harold Manners, who, rather than struggling to achieve, is trying to cross the class divide from the top down. The class theme is not really dealt with in a truly poignant way ala Chaplin, but it's a heart warming story about a wealthy man shunning his peers to marry a poor but principled woman. It is also chock full of amusing chase scenes and sight gags.

I loved this! This was just a simple, hilarious good time.

They do the whole class relation exploration better in 90's teen comedies when they're just aping Shakespeare or Billy Wilder.

One of the smaller pictures from Lloyd's blockbuster period, but still a popular hit. For once, our hero gets to live a charmed life, but still gets caught up in the crazy chases, gags, and action sequences he's known for, culminating in a big chase with a double-decker bus.

Rewatch. One of my favorite Lloyds. Great stuff.
