Harold Lloyd - Girl Shy - A shy young man who can't talk to women ventures out to publish a book full of fictional conquests, but finds true love along the way. Harold Lloyd - Girl Shy (1924) Director: Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor Writers: Sam Taylor, Ted Wilde, Tim Whelan Stars: Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Richard Daniels Genre: Comedy, Romance Country: United States Language: English Release Date: 20 April 1924 (USA) Filming Location: Downtown, Los Angeles, California, USA Synopsis: Harold Meadows (Lloyd) is a shy, stuttering bachelor working in a tailor shop, who is writing a guide book for other bashful young men, "The Secret of Making Love," chapters from which are portrayed as fantasy sequences. Fate has him meet rich girl, Mary (Ralston), and they fall in love. But she is about to wed an already married man, so our hero embarks upon a hair-raising daredevil ride to prevent the wedding. Reviews: "Although painfully GIRL SHY, a tailor's assistant uses every ounce of strength to keep the young woman he adores from an unwise marriage. Harold Lloyd produces another winning entry in his series of silent screen comedy classics. This time there is a healthy dose of old-fashioned romanticism, as Harold and beautiful Jobyna Ralston yearn & commune alongside a bucolic stream. Such tenderness never cloys, however, as Lloyd makes sure to leaven it with healthy helpings of hilarity. His attempts to hide a small dog on a passenger train are uproarious, as are his demonstrations on how to make love to vamps & flappers. And when the viewer thinks Harold can't possibly top himself, he ends the film with one of his marvelous chase scenes, in which he uses every sort of conveyance (train, jalopy, horse, fire truck, trolley, motorcycle & sand wagon) to stop Jobyna's marriage to a cad. Throughout, Harold displays the remarkable athleticism for which he was celebrated, made even more astonishing when one remembers that he had lost half of his right hand a few years before in a freak studio accident, a disfigurement he disguised with a prosthetic glove. Movie mavens will recognize some OUR GANG kids in uncredited roles--Fat Joe Cobb & Jackie Condon in the tailor's shop and Mickey Daniels as a newsboy on the street. Jim Parker has composed an excellent film score which perfectly complements Harold's antics on the screen." written by "Ron Oliver" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Girl Shy Argentina El tenorio tímido Austria Mädchenscheu Belgium (French title) Ça t' la coupe Belgium (Flemish title) Het valt niet mee Brazil O Maricas Denmark Bange for Piger Finland Ujo poika Finland (alternative title) Arka ja kaino Finland (Swedish title) (alternative title) Skygg och blyg France Ça t'la coupe!
