Great script. Script? Yes! The title cards are a
hoot – clever, knowing, slightly cynical and punchy. [The
student body was waiting to be annoyed by the Dean’s opening address.]
Eschews exaggerated acting common in silent
films. Instead natural expression and body language speak volumes.
You
can nearly hear the dialogue after a clerk defends Harold, then his
enemy (by mere expression and perceptive direction) conveys “hey, she’s
got a thing for him, I bet we can use that against him too.”
On target tempo and running time, amusing comedy
routines, very relatable characters and situations as well as a dynamite
finale add up to a complete delight.
