See this film: Girl Shy [with live musical accompaniment] @ the Somerville Theatre
Maybe today's rom
coms would be better off if they just hushed a bit and aspired to the visual
wit of classic silent comedies like Harold Lloyd's Girl Shy (1924). In it Lloyd plays the title shy guy who
tries to compensate for his ineptitude with women by writing a macho dating
book. But words turn to action when he must stop the wedding of the woman he
fancies and engages in one of the most inventive, dazzling, and hilarious chases
in cinema. It screens with a live music accompaniment from Jeff Rapsis.
